Children and adolescents exhibiting symptoms of ADHD at school will also have difficulty at home.  Parents and caregivers will be able to observe problems with their children losing or misplacing things, keeping their room clean, going to bed on time, staying in their room at bedtime, showering or bathing, fighting with siblings, or doing chores.

ADHD children are also more likely to not want to eat with the rest of the family or what the rest of the family is eating.  They like to watch TV, read, or play games during dinner.
