Where's the hyperactive child going?

[摘要] Hyperactivity in childhood, and its correlates of behavior problems and learning disorders, is a problem that pediatricians are facing with increasing frequency. Newspapers, magazines, scientific journals, and other media have popularized this topic and consequently parents, teachers, psychologists, and just friends are looking at children in a new light. As a result, physicians are frequently being asked how a child's learning abilities can be improved or maximized, what will happen when he grows up, if medication is indicated, and a variety of related questions. In this issue of Pediatrics Huessy and Cohen present data on hyperkinetic children followed over a seven-year period.
