Patient's question:
Distraction in class, engaging in small activities. Staring blankly every day, not doing homework.Doctor's answer:
For children with ADHD, the first step is to help them build confidence in their treatment and enhance their subjective initiative, as well as strengthen self-control. Secondly, attention should be paid to dietary nutrition and a well-structured schedule to cultivate good living habits. Thirdly, parents and teachers should be more understanding and caring toward these children, promptly praising and encouraging their minor progress. It is crucial to avoid being simplistic, harsh, or discriminatory, as this may harm their self-esteem, cause psychological trauma, and lead to hostile emotions. Neither should they be overly indulgent of their stubbornness. During the treatment process, it is essential to closely monitor the child's reactions and adjust medication dosage or decide to discontinue or change medication in a timely manner. Attention should also be paid to persisting in treatment and avoiding allowing the child to terminate or discontinue treatment and medication on their own.
