Mischievous? Isn't that the "nature" of children? Unexpectedly, the lively and cute child got sick. Why is my child a "bear child"? 8-year-old Yan Yan (pseudonym) is about to enter the second grade of primary school, but parents did not expect that the "mischievous" Yan Yan was actually sick.
From the age of 5, her mother found that Yan Yan was particularly active, did not abide by the class records in school, loved to talk to classmates, left her seat at will, ignored the teacher's instructions, organized collective activities in the class, and was always the "trickster" who broke the rules. At home, I jumped up and down, ran around, looked left and right when writing homework, sat on a stool and twisted around, and couldn't stop for a second.
At home, he has a big temper and loves to throw things. Yan Yan's mother said anxiously. After that, under the guidance of a friend, she went to the hospital for help, and was diagnosed with "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (commonly known as "ADHD"). Without early intervention, ADHD can also affect a child's life.
Parents should face up to the fact that their children have "ADHD". Many parents cannot accept that their children have "hyperactivity" problems, or attribute some of their children's symptoms to the child's "laziness", "lack of willpower", or "poor parental discipline". In fact, this will not only help children solve difficulties, but also worsen the parent-child relationship.
Parents can better understand the relevant knowledge of "ADHD" more comprehensively and scientifically, so as to better help their children and improve the parent-child relationship. Second, seek professional medical help. The earlier and more effective interventions are made in children with "ADHD", the more they can reduce the academic, social and other functional defects caused by "ADHD", and help reduce other comorbid problems that may occur in adolescence or adulthood, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.
The treatment and intervention of ADHD is inseparable from the cooperation of family parents. If a child is really diagnosed with ADHD, what should parents do? First of all, the most important thing is that parents themselves must first calm their minds, accept this fact, and always remember that they are the children's dependence, to take the child out of the dilemma of illness, to solve the problem. The reason why this is put first is because many parents who have come into contact with many diagnosed children in reality are not so optimistic in their attitude and emotions, and even sometimes anger their children, making their children more physically and mentally hurt.
Secondly, actively cooperate with the child in the treatment, now the treatment of ADHD is usually a full range of management interventions, the whole family parents and children together to make changes, on this basis supplemented by other physical therapy or professional training. Treat children patiently, communicate with children more, know that when you are sick, your children will be sad, parents should praise their children more, encourage their children, give their children self-confidence, guide their children to face life positively and optimistically, rebuke and tolerate more, and avoid children giving up on themselves. Remember one thing, this time is not that the child is disobedient, not that the child is unwilling to behave well, but because he cannot control himself.
Finally, focus on your child's life outside the home, especially school life, as school takes up 1/3 of a child's day. Children with ADHD may be criticized by teachers for poor grades and naughtiness in school, or they may be isolated by classmates because they do not fit in.
As a parent, we must not intensify the contradiction, but should strive to find a solution, especially to help their children adjust their mentality, so that he does not become inferior and cowardly. It is undeniable that there are still different degrees of misunderstanding and prejudice in society about children with ADHD.
