Question

What treatment methods are available for children with ADHD? Some parents have reported that their child has been suffering from pediatric ADHD for half a year. The child struggles to concentrate in school classrooms and often disturbs classmates’ learning, with severe behavioral problems. How can parents assist their child in treating ADHD?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric ADHD is not solely dependent on medication but involves a comprehensive range of treatment measures including psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and Western medicine therapy. A single method is often insufficient, and a multi-faceted treatment strategy should be adopted. Parents can help their child focus by engaging in activities that the child is interested in, such as painting, providing ample space, and even participating themselves to enhance the child’s concentration time.
