Question
Recently, some parents have reported that their children often fail to pay attention in school and exhibit excessive activity, which has been diagnosed as ADHD by doctors. Parents are wondering how to alleviate and treat ADHD in children?
Answer
ADHD in children is characterized by excessive activity, inattentiveness, and behaviors like scribbling. Some children may also display problems such as impulsive behavior, poor social skills, lack of self-control, odd behavior, body tics, or purposeless movements, truancy, fighting, lying, and stealing, which are often not improved through educational means. In some cases, ADHD may be related to personality defects in adults. This condition usually manifests before the age of 6. If a child is only interested in playing games, there is no need to worry excessively. It is recommended that parents seek help from professional child psychologists for appropriate treatment.
