"Don't write homework mother kind filial piety, a homework chicken flying dog jump."
This sentence is simply a true portrayal of the majority of old mothers when helping their children write homework.
In China, there are really such a group of "stupid" children, as soon as they write homework, they can make their parents sigh, "Is this really my own birth?" How can it be so stupid? He's certainly not our child..."
In fact, the school is a smart child.
When he was three years old, he hid one of his grandmother's slippers. Mom asked, where did it go? He dragged out his voice and said, "I heard that it was like, and one of Grandpa's slippers ran out and got married." ”
At the age of six, the school wanted to sleep with her mother. Lying on the bed, with a gloomy face: Mom, I feel that I am alone in a dark village, very lonely. Mom, I felt like I was alone on the sea, with no light. The mother finally couldn't help her son's broken thoughts and let the school climb into bed.
When I was six years old, my English teacher told the school that this was called a loose vowel. "Teacher!" The school interrupted the class: "Why is it called scattered vowels?"
"Because it's alone at the end of the word, I'm separated from my friends."
"Teacher! Why did it go away? Where did it go? Can Uncle Cop find it?"
Back home, usually a 150-word essay, he output from oral voice, copied to scratch paper, and then copied to the composition paper, it takes 5 to 6 hours.
In the first grade, most children in the class often score double hundred, and no one scores below 90 on the test, but the school often fails.
The school mother couldn't understand why this boy, who had been praised and had a poor mouth and cleverness, had been at the bottom of the grade since the first grade.
She took the school to the hospital, where the child was diagnosed with ADHD but had normal intelligence.
01. The impact of ADHD on children
Hyperactivity disorder, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), refers to the appearance of age-inappropriate inattention, inactivity and emotional impulses in children, usually before the age of 12 years, and is one of the most common developmental behavioral problems in childhood.
ADHD brings a lot of trouble to parents, teachers, children themselves, and peers.
Parents feel that their children can't control their movements all day long, and they don't pay attention to things; Spending a lot of time every day with homework needs to be constantly reminded to focus. Parents may also lose patience and throw tantrums at their children after a long time.
The teacher reflected that the child did not listen carefully to the lecture in the classroom, made many small movements, touched this and that, and the learning performance was not good.
Companions find them running around, talking and doing things impulsively, impatiently, not following the rules in their game activities, and unwilling to be friends with them.
Over time, children with ADHD can have their self-esteem hurt and even give up on themselves.
According to statistics, about 6% to 9% of school-age children in the world suffer from ADHD, and 6.8% of children in China are eligible for the diagnosis of ADHD, which also means that every 14 children in China will have ADHD, and even 2/3 of children will bring this disease into adulthood.
Adults may not be able to engage in the ideal occupation because of their short years of education and low education, and their socio-economic level is low. It is easy to be fired or change jobs more frequently due to poor job performance.
Issues of academic qualifications and work can further affect mate selection, marriage and family relations. ADHD can also lead to alcoholism, antisocial behavior, substance abuse, and even criminal behavior.

Some parents think that children with ADHD are just naughty and playful, and do not think that ADHD needs treatment. This perception is very wrong.
If left untreated, as mentioned earlier, ADHD can have multiple negative effects on a child's present and future. Therefore, it is very important to treat ADHD in a timely and regular manner.
ADHD uses a combination of pharmacotherapy and behavioral therapy, on which pharmacotherapy is the basis, and on the basis of which behavioural therapy is combined.
1. Medication
Drugs are very effective medical interventions for ADHD.
In China's clinic, there are only two kinds of drugs for adult ADHD:
One is a central nervous system irritant, which stimulates the secretion of dopamine and deadrenne through the entry of drugs into neurons, thereby improving the individual's ability to control attention and emotions;
The other is an inhibitor that inhibits the reuptake of deadrenne by neurons to achieve the effect of increasing the concentration of neurotransmitters.
2. Behavioral therapy
Behavioral therapy refers to helping children develop good behaviors and eliminate bad behaviors by taking appropriate reward and punishment measures.
Help build good behavior through rewards: Rewards or offers are given when children show good behavior (e.g., children are rewarded for playing favorite games, food, tokens, etc.) after completing homework at a specified time.
Help eliminate bad behavior with appropriate penalties: When problem behavior occurs, cancel rewards and benefits that have already been earned (e.g., failure to complete the task of organizing school bags, cancel free time or deduct rewards).
