ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the presence of persistent signs of associated hyperactivity-impulsivity and/or inattention that impair the child's functioning or development.
The involvement of genetic factors has been shown in numerous studies. Other studies have also highlighted the contributions of parent-child interaction in the development, expression and persistence of symptoms.However, the mechanisms by which parenting practices and attachment may influence ADHD symptoms remain unclear.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of attachment style of the child, the educational practices and the presence of attentional/executive disorders of parents on the expression of ADHD in children aged 7 to 10.
This prospective empirical research will compare children with ADHD and their parents to a matched control group.
