Abstract
Despite the difficulties in firmly diagnosing attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among preschool children, there is a need for effective management strategies aimed at its symptoms. Multimodal intervention for a young child with ADHD should include supportive training for parents, a tolerant but structured preschool experience, and, in some cases, medication, if indicated after a carefully monitored trial.Keywords
