ADHD is a common psychological disorder in children, according to studies that the incidence of the disease is as high as about 3%, the incidence of the disease is mostly boys, girls are relatively rare. Most children with ADHD have normal intelligence, but behave inconsistently with their actual age. When the child has the following 5 abnormal manifestations, parents should pay attention to it.
First, the inability to concentrate. Many children will have inability to concentrate, including healthy children, but such children can concentrate on things they like or under the supervision of parents and teachers. Children with ADHD have no way to concentrate on doing anything no matter what situation they encounter, are extremely susceptible to external interference, often have no end to doing things, cannot pay attention to listening to parents or teachers, often do small actions or look around, there is no way to communicate with people normally, and often interrupt others.
Second, can't stop. Children with ADHD seem to be relatively "busy", often hands and feet, like to run around, climb up and down, no sense of safety, sometimes talk to themselves in the mouth, it is difficult to calm down to keep a quiet state of sitting still. Especially in class, I often do small actions, always talking or running around and jumping around to affect the normal learning of other students, and do not listen to the instructions of parents or teachers.
Third, personality defects. Children's personality is mostly impulsive, emotionally unstable, easy to cry, often tantrums, stubborn personality, and often fights or quarrels with people when getting along with children of the same age. Such children usually do not listen to the parents' education internally, and often cause disputes outside. If this condition is not improved in time, the child may easily fall into vices when he grows up, such as smoking and drinking during his teenage years, often going out and not returning, truancy, lying, stealing, fighting, etc., which has a great impact on himself, his family and society.
Fourth, learning difficulties. Inability to concentrate will have an impact on learning ability, this type of children generally have no way to listen carefully to the teacher's course, nor can they seriously complete the homework assigned by the teacher on time, can not easily distinguish similar words when recognizing words, and often carelessly cause errors when doing mathematical problems, so the academic performance generally lags behind other normal children, and some children even give up their studies in advance.
Fifth, the action is not coordinated. Abnormal nervous system development caused by the imbalance of neurochemical transmitters in the brain makes the child's speech uncoordinated when speaking, and some children cannot complete fine movements such as tying buttons and shoelaces, using chopsticks to clip beans, cutting paper or folding paper, and the balance ability is relatively poor, walking can not be in a straight line, and the movement looks more clumsy.
ADHD can have long-term effects on children, such as failure to successfully complete school, interpersonal difficulties, and poor social functioning, which can adversely affect families and society. Studies have shown that 70% of children will persist symptoms into adolescence and 30% into adulthood. Therefore, parents who find that their children have ADHD should also pay attention to patient communication with their children, go to regular hospitals for examination as soon as possible, and effectively treat the condition by taking drugs or psychotherapy to promote the healthy development of children's physical and mental health.
