Question

My son was quite well-behaved when he was three or four, not mischievous at all. However, starting a year ago, he’s been constantly fighting with other kids, and we’ve tried everything to stop him. He also keeps making small disturbances in class. The doctor told me he has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I’m wondering what the best treatment method for ADHD is?

Answer

ADHD is a common mental disorder in children. These children usually have normal intelligence but suffer from inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor self-control, which are inconsistent with their actual age, thereby affecting their learning. Suggestions:

  • Firstly, children with ADHD are ill and should not be treated differently or be encouraged to fight, as this may exacerbate their trauma.
  • Secondly, medication must be prescribed for children with ADHD, but medication should not replace education. Medication can provide a better educational environment, and its effects and side effects should be correctly understood.
  • Thirdly, cooperation is necessary among four parties (children, parents, teachers, doctors) to achieve good results.
