Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a very common disorder among children. Children can show symptoms of this disorder very early in life. The role of the parents, preschool teachers, and caregivers is to notice children’s behavioral problems so that they can help them as soon as possible. In order for them to be able to do that, it is necessary to develop awareness of this disorder. The aim of the main part of this final thesis is to present the basic information about ADHD. This thesis will also give an overview of several research papers published in English language on contributions to children’s ADHD, parental involvement in treatment, the role of neuropsychological deficits in children’s ADHD and teachers’ knowledge about ADHD. The thesis will also mention how the children with externalizing behavior problems can be helped.

Abstract (croatian)

Poremećaj hiperaktivnosti i pažnje (ADHD) vrlo je čest poremećaj među djecom. Djeca mogu pokazati simptome ovog poremećaja vrlo rano u životu. Uloga je roditelja, odgojitelja i skrbnika uočiti probleme u ponašanju djece kako bi im mogli pomoći što je prije moguće. Stoga je potrebno razviti svijest o ovom poremećaju. Cilj glavnog dijela ovoga završnog rada je predstaviti osnovne podatke o ADHD poremećaju. Ovaj će rad također predstaviti pregled nekoliko istraživačkih radova objavljenih na engleskom jeziku koji govore o okolnostima koje doprinose ADHD-u kod djece, uključenosti roditelja u liječenje, ulozi neuropsiholoških deficita kod djece s ADHD-om i znanju odgojitelja o ADHD-u. Također će biti spomenuto kako se može pomoći djeci s problemima u ponašanju.
