Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common psychological and behavioral disorder in children. Its incidence rate is very high. Many parents may think that ADHD is not a big deal, just that their children are not focused and active in class, and sometimes do not like to interact with others. It's not really the case to think that children will be fine when they get older. Is ADHD severe in children?
Firstly, the harm of ADHD to children is significant. Children may encounter difficulties in learning because lack of concentration can lead to frequent study abroad, suspension, and even the possibility of not being able to attend school. Many children with severe ADHD will be advised to withdraw from kindergarten. Among these children, the employment rate after adulthood is also very low, and many of them may rely on medication to survive, and there may also be other unfavorable situations.
Secondly, ADHD also poses a significant risk as it can be accompanied by other illnesses. The most common is a destructive behavior. It is easy to have serious conflicts, fights, and even drug use in schools and other places. Many children with ADHD may also be accompanied by depression. Once these diseases merge, treatment can be very challenging.
Finally, in the treatment of ADHD, the main approach is to adopt a form based approach, which does not rely on medication. Treat the child in a special way that requires close cooperation between the teacher and parents. Do not criticize or reprimand the child as a bad child, otherwise it will lead to more serious consequences for the child. Praise and persuasion should be the main focus. Encourage appropriately from simple to difficult, and if a child engages in inappropriate behavior, parents can ignore it instead of criticizing it.
In short, normal children who are active and disobedient have control and will not affect their own and others' normal lives. But if such hyperactivity affects one's learning and interpersonal communication, parents should take their children to the hospital for treatment.
