Question
A nine-year-old child is in the first grade of elementary school. During class, the child is unable to concentrate, fails to grasp the teacher’s lesson content, does not pay attention to homework, and has poor test scores. In daily guidance by teachers and school leaders, the child does not pay attention and quickly forgets the taught questions, and it is unclear how to provide guidance.
Answer
The diagnosis and treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) require a comprehensive examination and assessment by a professional doctor. The child may need medication and behavioral therapy to improve symptoms. Parents can receive relevant training to learn how to support and encourage their child at home. At the same time, collaborate with school teachers to ensure that the child also receives appropriate assistance and support at school.
