Question
Children struggle to concentrate in class, have limited understanding of the learning content, complete homework slowly and are easily distracted. How should ADHD in children be treated in such cases?
Answer
The treatment of ADHD in children is not solely reliant on medication but involves a comprehensive approach including psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. Specific treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a professional hospital and doctor. The core symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, which often require appropriate education and management. Patience, care, and love should be maintained when dealing with children with ADHD. Discipline should be proactive in educational settings, providing more encouragement and rewards and acknowledging achievements. Children should not be subjected to mental pressure or feel guilty or be physically punished.
