The ADHD symptoms put the children suffering from this disorder at a higher risk of being a victim of bulling as well as of behaving aggressively towards peers. Objectives: This study is conducted in ...order to identify the frequency of specific forms of victimization and bullying in children with ADHD, and to determine if there is any correlation between victimization and bullying, and between different forms of bullying in children with ADHD. Methods: Bullying was tested on a sample of 72 first-through-eighth graders with ADHD diagnosis by means of the School Bullying Questionnaire (UŠN-2003) designed in line with the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire. Results: The results indicate a statistically significant correlation between being a victim and being a perpetrator of bullying. The study also shows statistically significant correlations between specific forms of bullying. Conclusion: The results of this study provide guidelines for further studies and prevention/ intervention programs concerning bullying which involves children with ADHD.
Peer interaction of children with ADHD is often burdened by failure that is reflected in the low acceptance of these children by their peers, a very limited number of friends, low quality friendships ...and a higher incidence of involvement in bullying. In order to better understand the social interactions in this population, this paper presents the contemporary knowledge about the characteristics of the behaviour of children and adolescents with ADHD, which include distracting / inappropriate social behaviour, communication features, socio-cognitive difficulties and deficits in social problems solving and emotional dysregulation. Recent findings on predictors of peer acceptance of children with ADHD are creating new possibilities for action. Special attention was paid to the issue of bullying. The paper presents current concepts of knowledge in the context of typical children and young people, children and youth with disabilities and with ADHD. Compared to typical children, those with disabilities are frequently involved in bullying and are highly represented in the population of victims. Studies show that ADHD symptoms and bullying are significantly related. The conducted research clearly points to the increasing prevalence of children with ADHD among the victims of bullying, but also among the perpetrators, and provocative victims compared with typical peers. This paper seeks to highlight the importance of the research of peer interaction of children and youth with ADHD and provide a boost to such research, with particular emphasis on bullying. The paper gives some guidelines for the design and implementation of prevention and intervention programs tailored to the population of children with ADHD. Adapted from the source document.
Vršnjačke interakcije djece s ADHD-om učestalo su opterećene neuspjehom koji se ogleda u slaboj prihvaćenosti ove djece od strane vršnjaka, malom broju prijatelja, niskoj kvaliteti ostvarenih ...prijateljstava i većoj učestalosti sudjelovanja u vršnjačkom nasilju. U cilju boljeg razumijevanja socijalne interakcije ove populacije u radu su prikazane suvremene spoznaje o obilježjima ponašanja djece i mladih s ADHD-om koje uključuju ometajuća/neprimjerena socijalna ponašanja, obilježja komunikacije, sociokognitivne poteškoće i poteškoće rješavanja socijalnih problema, te poteškoće emocionalne regulacije. Nedavne spoznaje o prediktorima vršnjačkog prihvaćanja djece s ADHD-om otvaraju nove mogućnosti djelovanja. Posebna pažnja posvećena je problematici vršnjačkog nasilja. Prikazane su suvremene spoznaje iz konteksta tipične djece i mladih, djece i mladih s teškoćama u razvoju i s ADHD poremećajem. U odnosu na tipičnu, djeca s teškoćama u razvoju učestalije sudjeluju u vršnjačkom nasilju, odnosno visoko su zastupljena u populaciji žrtava. Istraživanja pokazuju da su ADHD simptomi i vršnjačko nasilje značajno povezani. Provedena istraživanja jednoznačno upozoravaju na veću zastupljenost djece s ADHD-om među žrtvama vršnjačkog nasilja, ali i među počiniteljima, i provokativnim žrtvama u usporedbi s tipičnim vršnjacima. Radom se nastoji istaknuti važnost i dati poticaj istraživanjima vršnjačkih interakcija djece i mladih s ADHD poremećajem, s posebnim naglaskom na vršnjačko nasilje. Rad daje i neke smjernice za kreiranje i provedbu prevencijskih i intervencijskih programa prilagođenih populaciji djece s ADHD-om.

Integracija djece s teškoćama u razvoju u redovne škole u Hrvatskoj na snazi je dugi niz godina. Dosad provedena istraživanja u Hrvatskoj pokazuju nepovoljniji socijalni položaj djece s teškoćama u ...razvoju u odnosu na tipične vršnjake u razredu. Kako bi se ova slika promijenila, ključno je posvetiti pažnju razvoju socijalne kompetencije kako djece s teškoćama u razvoju, tako i
njihovih vršnjaka bez teškoća u razvoju.
Ovaj rad nastoji dati poticaj za aktivniji pristup učitelja i stručnih suradnika u socijalnom uključivanju djece s teškoćama u razvoju. On prikazuje pozitivnu praksu u razredu u kojem se školuje učenik s teškoćama u razvoju.
Kroz rad su opisane četiri radionice provedene s učenicima prvog razreda osnovne škole, kojima je cilj bio poticanje razvoja socijalnih vještina važnih za interakciju s vršnjacima. Radionice su istovremeno bile usmjerene na okolinu djeteta s teškoćama u razvoju i na samo dijete s teškoćama. Poticanje suradnje i međusobnog uvažavanja djece doprinosi povećanju bliskosti i tolerancije različitosti među vršnjacima što je važno za prihvaćanje učenika s teškoćama
u razvoju od strane vršnjaka unutar razreda.
