Question
My child has recently been exhibiting behaviors such as involuntary (nodding) and (squinting) while watching TV. Could this be a sign of ADHD? What measures should parents take?
Answer
If you observe excessive hyperactivity in your child, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for a professional diagnosis, including an EEG and other checks, to rule out other possible disease factors. At the same time, limit your child’s prolonged use of computer games or watching TV and encourage them to participate in purposeful activities to alleviate stress and relax their mood. Parents, teachers, and classmates should avoid discriminating against or abusing children with ADHD, and must not insult their personality or harm their self-esteem, as this may worsen their condition.
