Question
When doing homework, the child twists his body, can’t sit still, and is easily distracted. When adults talk to him, he often interrupts them, and if he doesn’t get an immediate answer to his questions, he keeps repeating them until he gets a response. He needs something immediately, and if not, he becomes restless. Does this suggest that the child has ADHD?
Answer
The child is nine years old and often twists when doing homework. When you ask a question, you must give him an immediate answer. He needs something immediately, and if not, he becomes restless. This is not a symptom of ADHD. It may be a self-willed behavior caused by overindulgence. I suggest giving the child patience and correct guidance, increasing communication, and participating more reasonably. Engage in group activities, don’t cater to his wishes, gradually change, and cultivate good habits.
