Many parents think that it is normal for children to be active, but if children are too naughty, too active, and even affect normal life and study, it is likely to suffer from ADHD. Parents will wonder why some children are naughty, which is a normal performance, while my child is naughty, that is, ADHD? Some parents will wonder, my child is not moving, ah, but the class is not concentrated, love to wander. So, is ADHD just one word more than hyperactivity?
ADHD often manifests itself in 1. Attention deficit, commonly known as inattention. Inattention is a necessary symptom of ADHD. 2. Hyperactivity, hyperactivity beyond the child's age. Children with ADHD are like a perpetual motion machine, with particularly energetic and persistent hyperactivity. 3. Children with ADHD have poor self-control ability, are easily stimulated by the outside world and overexcited, and are prone to setbacks. The behavior does not consider the consequences, the dangerous or destructive behavior occurs, and the lesson is not learned afterwards. Emotionally, children are prone to conflict with classmates, teachers, and parents.
Pediatricians explain: There is an essential difference between naughty hyperactivity and hyperactivity. Children with ADHD have their own basis for the onset of the disease, which may be related to genetics, incomplete brain development and other factors; some children with ADHD have a different neuroanatomical structure from normal children. Normal naughty children, without such a basis for the onset of the disease, will not develop ADHD.
To determine whether the child has ADHD, a preliminary analysis can be carried out through the above steps. If parents can't tell the difference on their own, they can go to the hospital and ask a doctor to help identify. Parents are understandably concerned about the child's mood, but do not label the child with ADHD because the child is a little naughty and active, which will bring unnecessary psychological pressure to the child. Parents often ask how to discipline children who make mistakes?
In the past, the child could still be controlled, but now it is completely unmanageable, and it is useless to talk about the reason, and it is completely "soft and hard not to eat"! Does your child have this problem too? Today I would like to share a few suggestions with you. First of all, parents should pay attention to the fact that when disciplining and punishing their children, they should not only focus on the current situation, but also focus on long-term goals. That is, what you want your child to learn, and how he will behave in the future, rather than punishing the child simply for the mistakes in front of you in order to make the child "miserable".
This allows you to create a discipline in the family so that your child knows exactly what you expect to see and reminds him of it frequently, and to describe it as clearly as possible, without setting up words of a wide range. Discipline includes reasonable expectations, clear communication, and praise for the desired behavior.
The second is to praise the desired behavior, which is the rule of "grabbing them to be good people". Hyperactive kids often react to positive reinforcement, such as, "You've been playing with your buddies for five minutes without a fight, which is great!" "When changing your child's behavior, you need to make positive reinforcement statements frequently.
As behavior changes, parents can extend the time to praise their children. For example, after the child makes bad behavior, parents should let the child bear certain consequences, preferably in time, such as the cancellation of the TV time after dinner. Don't set the penalty too far away, such as "don't take you to the mall on weekends/ don't take you on a tour during the summer vacation". Decisions like this that cannot be punished in time are likely to be unenforceable, and a large number of times will only make the child care.
Remember, while we are punishing the child, our goal is not to punish the child, but to determine how he learns to better manage his behavior. Therefore, before the parents were blindly angry, the child may also know that he did something wrong, and he was punished, but he did not know how to correct it.
