Question
How to treat ADHD in children?
Answer
It is recommended to provide children with learning on how to solve problems, anticipate consequences, control impulses, and choose appropriate behaviors for psychological treatment. Parents need to offer a supportive environment, learn skills to resolve family issues, work together with the child to establish clear reward and punishment agreements, avoid conflicts, and appropriately use positive reinforcement methods to encourage good behavior, as well as use reward and punishment measures to control the child’s undesirable behavior. For children with ADHD, medication treatment is very important. It is also necessary to guide educational methods such as enhancing concentration, cultivating regular living habits, and boosting the child’s self-esteem and confidence. The issue of controlling excessive energy should not be overlooked.
