Nowadays, we have disorders for just about everything. I was guilty of a lot of the stuff in there, too. But enough about me. The disorders in the manual that really caught my eye were those listed for children. Individuals with this disorder may fail to give close attention to details or may make careless mistakes in schoolwork or other tasks.
Work is often messy and performed carelessly and without considered thought.
Individuals often have difficulty sustaining attention and tasks or play activities and often find it hard to persist with tasks until completion. They often do not follow through on requests or instructions and fail to complete schoolwork, chores or other duties. At least then we wouldn't be scared to death that these children had some strange mental affliction. But I've been thinking about this, and I have come up with some other childhood disorders in case your kids weren't covered by the official list. Anger, frustration, loneliness, heartache and other associated negative emotions brought on by parents not being physically present, spiritually concerned or emotionally involved with their children.
