  • disruptive - causing problems and preventing something from continuing in its usual way, eg. Night work can be very disruptive to home life.Ways to handle disruptive pupils
  • fidgety - unable to stay still, especially because of being bored or nervous, eg. The boys get fidgety if they can't play outside 
  • acclimate (US) acclimatize (UK) - to become used to a new place, situation, or type of weather, or to make someone become used to it, eg. Runners had to acclimatize to the humid tropical conditions.I found it hard to acclimatize myself to working at weekends. 
  • argumentative - someone who is argumentative often argues or likes arguing, eg. He quickly becomes argumentative after a few drinks.
  • degenerative - a degenerative illness gradually gets worse and cannot be stopped[↪ progressive]

    Children showing ADHA symptoms might be diagnosed wrong with that disorder. Even worse, they might be placed on medications without needing them. Medications effects are just temporary and the child can acclimate to it, so it is no longer covering up the symptoms. It would be wiser to find out what the real cause of the symptoms might be. In so many cases, the children are hyperactive, shoving the attention deficit and being argumentative, after having consumed refined sugar. Another cause of that behaviour might be a boredom in the classroom.What can help to minimize the hyperactivity and lack of attention is Tai Yi, an ancient form of Chinese hands-on energy work that can be described as similar to acupuncture or acupressure. There is a special treatment called Sugar Dragon and it can assist the person to release a sugar addiction and to understand why he or she carries the addiction.
