Impulsivity is a normal part of child development, but excessive impulsivity that interferes with daily life may indicate a disorder. Persistent difficulty with self-control, frequent impulsive actions, and problems with delayed gratification can severely impact a young person’s life, affecting their academic performance, social interactions, and overall happiness.
