Overview
Brief Summary
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the presence of persistent signs of associated hyperactivity-impulsivity and/or inattention that impair the child's functioning or development.
The involvement of genetic factors has been shown in numerous studies. Other studies have also highlighted the contributions of parent-child interaction in the development, expression and persistence of symptoms.However, the mechanisms by which parenting practices and attachment may influence ADHD symptoms remain unclear.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of attachment style of the child, the educational practices and the presence of attentional/executive disorders of parents on the expression of ADHD in children aged 7 to 10.
This prospective empirical research will compare children with ADHD and their parents to a matched control group.

Cartes pour l'évaluation de l'Attachement et de la Mentalisation chez l'Enfant (CAME)
Time Frame: At enrollment
CAME is a child interview validated in french and allowing to assess the attachment representations and mentalization on base of interview for child between 7 and 14 years. The aim of interview is to tell the child the emotional relationships with parents (e.g. : "Can you tell me a moment where your mom/dad was mad at you" ? or "did you ever feel bad about yourself, feel bad about yourself ? "). The interview with child is recorded and transcribed word for word for the correction. In order to increasing quality of rating, 20% of interview will be recorded by a second evaluator (Pr Ayala Borghini)
Security Scale - version français (SS-vf)
Time Frame: At enrollment
The child is asked to complete two questionnaires with each 10 items, one for the mother, the other for the father. Responses to each item are scored on a 4-point scale. In the version validated in French, the scores vary from 10 to 40. The highest scores correspond to the highest security of attachment to the parent.
