HealthDay (11/26, Thompson ) reports, “Preschoolers prone to tantrums appear to have a higher risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by the time they reach school age, a new study says.” Investigators found that “young children who struggle to control their emotions and behavior have more ADHD symptoms by age 7.” The study indicated that “their conduct is more likely to be poor and they are more apt to suffer from emotional problems like sadness or worry by that age.” The findings were published in Development and Psychopathology.
