The child, 8 years old, has poor language expression skills and difficulty concentrating. They struggle to express themselves in long sentences, perform poorly in school, but can read texts fluently, with words not flowing smoothly. There is no family history of hereditary diseases. The child had poor health in early years, often suffering from colds, taking medication, and receiving injections. They were deficient in zinc and only started supplementing this year. What factors or diseases could lead to poor language expression? Which department should be visited for consultation?
Answer
Children may be overly active, inattentive, some may be stubborn, not sociable, lack self-control, or exhibit immature, strange behaviors, or limb twitches. To promote healthy child development, it is recommended to pay attention to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) issues and handle children’s problems with patience, care, and love. Suggestions: Implement positive discipline for bad behavior, encourage and inspire more often, and reward when there is progress in behavioral therapy. Provide specific guidance for bad habits, maintain a regular lifestyle, cultivate good habits, and continuously build confidence.
