Doctor's answer:

ADHD, also known as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, refers to significant difficulties in maintaining focus and attention duration compared to peers. Methylphenidate can be taken orally, and it is suitable for children aged 6 and above. Common behavioral treatment methods include reinforcement, shaping, extinction, and punishment. These methods aim to promote the occurrence of appropriate behaviors and reduce negative behaviors. Additionally, it is important to establish a healthy family structure and cultivate self-control abilities.
