Question
Because my child has ADHD, I’m afraid to give them medicine, so when they can’t stop moving, I scold them. This seems to help a bit. Is this approach correct? How can it be effectively treated?
Answer
The treatment for ADHD should be tailored to the specific circumstances of each child. When a child is extremely active, they may not be aware of what they should and shouldn’t do. Their lives are not affected by it. If parents at this time start blaming the child or become overly concerned, these actions may worsen the child’s symptoms or increase family tension. This could be one of the reasons for exacerbating the condition or why the disease persists. It is also one of the main reasons for poor treatment outcomes.
