Question
My 7-year-old child often shows signs of inattention in class, leading to criticism from the teacher. How should parents handle this situation?
Answer
Before third grade, it is a normal psychological phenomenon for children to have difficulty concentrating or be distracted, which is closely related to the content of the curriculum and the teaching techniques of the teacher. Parents can gradually guide children to adjust their attention by engaging them in activities such as embroidery with a needle, soft brush calligraphy, listening to stories with eyes closed, and meditation exercises, transforming their normal psychological development into sustained focus. To improve hyperactivity, it is important to consider symptoms comprehensively, and parents should not arbitrarily label their children as having ADHD. It is crucial to provide children with correct guidance and believe that they will soon be able to focus on learning like other children.
