AB  - A  high  level  of  activity  and  short  attention  span  are  part  of  normal  development  in  infants  and  toddlers.  Many  typically  developing  preschool  children  continue  to  manifest  these  same  characteristics.  When  they  develop  impulse  control  around  4  years  of  age,  overactive  and  distractible  behaviors  diminish.  Attention  span,  activity  level,  persistence,  and  adaptability  to  change  also  reflect  a  child’s  temperament  or  behavioral  style.  These  traits  may  affect  learning  and  social  interactions  when  they  are  discordant  with  expectations  of  the  child’s  environment—of  teachers,  parents,  and  peers.
