According to study made by Linda Pagani in 1999, toddlers and young kinds who were easily distracted and showed signs of hyperactivity were more prone to activities like gambling later in life.
The earlier study was backed up by a more recent one just this year, and it showed that less than a decade later the children who scored the highest in terms of “easily distracted” or “very hyperactive” were already playing for money.

What to do when your kid is exhibiting such symptoms? According to the study, parent intervention was key to guiding the kids to more productive activities later in life.
