Kids Health for Parents
KidsHealth is the largest and most-visited site on the Web
providing doctor-approved health information about children from
before birth through adolescence. Created by The Nemours
Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, the award-winning
KidsHealth provides families with accurate, up-to-date, and
jargon-free health information they can use.
KidsHealth has been on the Web since 1995 - and has been
accessed by about half a billion visitors. On a typical weekday,
more than 500,000 visitors access KidsHealth's reliable
information. KidsHealth has separate areas for kids, teens, and
parents - each with its own design, age-appropriate content, and
tone. There are literally thousands of in-depth features, articles,
animations, games, and resources - all original and all developed
by experts in the health of children and teens.
Physicians and other health experts review all content before
it's published on KidsHealth. All content is re-reviewed on a
regular basis (about every 1 to 3 years, or more frequently if
needed). You can find the most recent review date and the name of
the expert reviewer(s) at the end of each article. You can learn
more about how we create our content by visiting our editorial
policy page.
This page describes the symptoms, diagnosis, causes, related
problems, treatment, and parent training regarding children with
AD/HD.
