What does it mean to be impulsive? Impulsivity means acting without thinking. Does your child have trouble waiting and standing in lines? Are they constantly interrupting you? Impulse control issues are common in children and can be a sign of ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD includes impulsive behavior, hyperactivity, and trouble with attention. If your child has trouble stopping an action or thinking before they act, they are acting in an impulsive way.
