Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common mental disorder with children, especially children in elementary school age. Researching on the current state of ADHD in children and their parents’ awareness about this syndrome will be very helpful for taking care of and teaching children in their family. Vanderbilt ADHD scale was used for screening for ADHD on 340 pupils at five elementary schools in Da Nang city (Vietnam), and the result showed that the rate of children with ADHD was about 4-5%. Using questionnaire, this survey would like to evaluate how parents think and support children at home. Evaluating the awareness of 310 parents indicated that many of them had misconception about familial activities in looking after and educating children with ADHD.
