Resumen: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, whose main symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. This disorder is associated with an alteration in the harmonious development of the affected individuals, being associated with alterations in the family environment, school environment and in the social environment. Three types of ADHD are described: hyperactivity, attention deficit or mixed (combines the two previous types). It must be taken into account that each boy and girl with ADHD may present different symptoms since each one may present a combination of difficulties and strengths. This disorder affects both the academic, social and family spheres. In the family environment, a series of strategies can be carried out such as: Increase self-confidence and self-esteem; help you interpret the behaviors of others and your own; promote the autonomy of the child, avoiding all types of overprotection; accept the minor as he is; expand the attention span of boys and girls by asking them to perform simple and calm tasks.
