Answer
Behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy are one of the main treatment methods for childhood ADHD. Behavioral therapy employs the principles of operant conditioning, reinforcing the patient’s behavior promptly or positively, enabling them to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new effective ones. This treatment requires cooperation and intervention from parents, teachers, and doctors. Children with ADHD can go to local medical institutions for a comprehensive physical examination and professional neuropsychological assessment by experienced experts to rule out ADHD caused by organic reasons and receive a correct diagnosis.
