Patient's question:
My child is 8 years old. He has always had difficulty concentrating during tutoring sessions, often staring blankly and laughing to himself. The teacher has reported this many times, but I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a common behavioral problem in children. Children with this condition have normal or above-normal intelligence but exhibit shortcomings in learning, behavior, and emotions. The main symptoms include difficulty concentrating, increased attention span, short attention duration, excessive movement regardless of the situation, and emotional issues such as guilt. It is often accompanied by cognitive disorders and learning difficulties. It is recommended to visit the child psychology clinic of a Class III-A hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
