The impact of ADHD on a child's social skills and relationships with peers is significant.
Children with ADHD often struggle with maintaining attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity, which can affect their ability to engage in social interactions effectively.
These challenges may result in difficulties forming and sustaining friendships, as well as experiencing conflicts with peers due to impulsive behaviours or difficulty following social norms.
Furthermore, the negative experiences associated with peer rejection and social isolation may further exacerbate the emotional well-being of children with ADHD.
