Mother-child interaction: a comparison of hyperactive, learning disabled, and normal boys.
Groups of thirteen hyperactive, learning disabled, and normal boys were observed interacting with their mothers in a structured problem-solving situation. Mothers of hyperactive boys showed a higher level of involement in task solution, and reported more behavior problems, than did mothers in comparison groups. Likewise, hyperactive boys interacted more than learning disabled or control boys.
