Question
Does ADHD Affect Physical Development in Children?
Answer
ADHD is a common pediatric psychological disorder. These children generally have normal intelligence but exhibit characteristics of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and poor self-control that do not correspond to their actual age, which can affect their learning. It is recommended first, that ADHD is a medical condition and should not be discriminated against or punished to avoid exacerbating the child’s emotional trauma. Second, medication treatment is necessary for ADHD, but medication cannot replace education. Medication can provide good conditions for education and should be correctly understood for its effects and side effects. Third, to achieve good therapeutic effects, cooperation among all parties (the child, parents, teachers, and doctors) is essential.
