How does the family environment affect the onset of ADHD in children?

Parents are the child's first teacher, parents' words and deeds, hobbies and interests have a deep impact on the child's growth, so the family environment is crucial to the growth of children. In a mechanical random group sample survey of 1377 students in 14 primary schools in Harbin Power District, 95 cases of pediatric ADHD were detected, with a detection rate of 6.89%. Among the family environment factors, the incidence of parental relationships is significantly higher than that of the non-diseased group, which is often quarrelsome, separated and divorced, indicating that the family environment is closely related to ADHD.

These adverse factors in the family are:

Some children have lost their mothers or divorced their parents since childhood, and they grow up in a lack of care and warmth, and are more likely to be hyperactive, abnormal, inferior, and lonely.

Parents have a low level of education, the method of educating children is simple and rude, light scolding, heavy beatings, physical abuse and psychological abuse of children, etc., so that children have rebellious psychology and resentment.

The expectations of the child are too high, and strict supervision makes the child lose his "freedom" and produces great psychological pressure.

Excessive coddling of children, obedience, the cultivation of children's pampering selfish psychology, everything is arbitrary, unrestrained, afraid of hardship, not seeking progress, lack of courage to overcome difficulties.

Some parents lack a sense of responsibility, only care about their own fun, and do not care about their children's ideological and behavioral education.

Family environmental factors are important precipitating factors for ADHD in children and aggravating factors for pre-existing symptoms. A good home environment may prevent the occurrence of ADHD and may also alleviate the symptoms of ADHD.

Therefore, for children who have been diagnosed, they should pay attention to both drug treatment, family treatment and school treatment.
