Question
The child is 4 years old and recently, for some unknown reason, the child has become very moody, throwing fits, and no longer enjoys watching cartoons. They run around non-stop, as if they have limitless energy. After taking the child for a check-up, it was said that they have been diagnosed with pediatric ADHD.
Answer
ADHD is a common pediatric psychiatric disorder characterized by normal or nearly normal intelligence, excessive activity (not always hyperactive in certain situations), inattention, unstable emotions, and impulsivity in children. This condition often comes with varying degrees of learning difficulties. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that a mischievous child must have ADHD; long-term observation is needed. We encourage children to build their self-esteem and confidence, fostering interest in learning and life. This is very beneficial for children with mild ADHD, helping them return to normal. In addition, it is important to reduce the intake of lead-containing foods.
