From the Just for Kids section:

Lots of kids (and some grownups, too) have trouble paying attention because it's hard for them to sit still and listen.

Do you ever feel as if your motor is running, even when you're sitting still?

Do you feel like wiggling and fidgeting when you have to sit and listen to your teacher?

Do you talk a lot and have trouble being quiet in class?

Do you forget to raise your hand and wait for the teacher to call on you?

Is it hard to wait your turn?

Do you play around and bump into other kids when you're waiting in line?

If you answer yes to lots of these questions, you have a lot of energy! And having so much energy can make it hard to settle down and pay attention in school.
