Question
My child is 6 years old and is always running around, mischievous, disobedient, and unwilling to be disciplined. Could it be ADHD? How should ADHD be treated?
Answer
Children with ADHD usually do not exhibit any special findings during physical examinations, and most normal neurological examinations are the same. Fine motor skills are uncoordinated, rapid spinning is awkward, and coordinated movements are not possible, along with pathological movements and other soft signs. In treating children with ADHD, in addition to medication and specialized brain psychological training, parents and teachers must also ensure the following: (1) appropriate expectations. First, the expectations for children should not be the same as those for ordinary children. Only require them to control their operations within a certain range and gradually increase the requirements. (2) a regular lifestyle. Parents and teachers urge children to adhere to a system of work and rest. (3) determine the nature of the disease. Overcome the child’s roughness, indifference, and discriminatory attitude.
