Bullies prey on kids who stand out or who struggle with social skills. Too often, children with ADHD fall victim — and some are even guilty of bullying themselves. Learn how to help your child stop the cycle of bullying with this advice.

• Impulsive remarks
• Clumsiness
• Poor understanding of spatial boundaries and personal space
• Being overly affectionate

The biggest problem for kids with ADHD is accurately reading social cues. Kids have to tune into the world around them, interpret behavior, and then respond appropriately — a tough task!
