Restless Leg Syndrome can also occur in children. Unfortunately, it is all to easy to label that child as "hyperactive" and/or ADD, and address the problem inappropriately.

If a child is "fidgety", constantly kicks off the bed clothes at night, is tired and/or irritable a lot, you might give some consideration to this. More information on the URL:
