What the Expert Says:

Inattention, distractibility, inability to stay focused and complete work on time might indicate an attention disorder. Talk with your daughter's health care provider asap. Attention deficits, such as ADD or ADHD, are very prevalent in today's society; however, treatment is not necessary if the child can progress academically, develops socially appropriately for age, and says safe.

Best regards.
