Question
The boy is very active, does not pay attention in class, often turns his head to talk to others, cannot sit still, has a lot of movement, quick emotional reactions, easily forgets things, and is restless even when sleeping. He is also careless in his work and quickly loses interest in things he doesn’t like.
Answer
Based on your description, the child may have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For children before school age, it is generally recommended to use educational and psychological treatments rather than medication. Appropriate education and reducing the child’s psychological stress are very important measures. Being too strict with the child can exacerbate the development of behavioral problems. Just control the child’s activities within a reasonable range. Encourage them more and never discriminate against them. 2. Behavioral Therapy: This is a treatment method based on the concept of learning theory. For example, rewarding non-hyperactive behaviors in hyperactive children. Discipline should be timely, fair, patient, and confident according to the child’s age characteristics and psychological development. Do not be too strict with children and provide specific guidance and assistance.
