Little girls are suger and spice. Little Boys can be monsters at times and it may take years before parents eventually realise they might be hyperactive and seek help. But what happens to a troublesome little girl who is fidgety and excitable, who stamps her feet and has temper tantrums?
This report came out of the blue for me because it is the first time I have ever seen hyperactivity linked to girls behaviour.
One in ten girls were found to have hyperactivity problemsHyperactive young girls are more likely to have "serious" problems in adulthood, research suggests.
A study of more than 800 girls up to the age of 21 found hyperactivity was linked to poor job prospects, abusive relationships and teenage pregnancy.
Previous research on the lasting impact of childhood hyperactivity has focused on boys, who are more likely to be diagnosed and treated.Source: news.bbc.co.uk via deng
