After such a questionnaire, the children will be talking about it judge each other based on popularity. Behavioural profile of popular child: positive, happy disposition tend to be more popular, physical attractiveness height, face, etc. There are absolutes as well as relatives based on culture. Lots of dyadic interaction can maintain a conversation with everybody (nerdy kid vs popular kid vs adult). Most kids would be afraid of rejection but these kids are not they are persistent. Little cooperative play, unwilling to share: much solitary activities usually reinforced by teachers, self esteem very low, much of time that adults care of education of child. So if a child has adhd most adults choose to give them medicine so that they can learn. However, more emphasis should be given to self esteem development which has long term impacts. Once child grows older they are likely to outgrow adhd but their self esteem is still similar as before.
