Patient's question:

Hyperactivity, difficulty concentrating in class, playing while doing homework, tendency to daydream. Lying, sometimes taking adult money, frequently losing things, difficulty sitting quietly for a while, talkative, tends to answer adults' questions impulsively without thinking. Normal intelligence, but relatively low ability to understand things.

Doctor's answer:

Medication is symptomatic. Excessive activity is often controlled through medication. At the same time, appropriate education and management from family and school should not be overlooked. The attitude towards the child should be handled with patience, care, and affection. Positive discipline should be given to the child's bad behavior and illegal actions, with more guidance and encouragement. When there are achievements in behavioral therapy, rewards should be given, and no mental pressure should be applied. More importantly, no scolding or corporal punishment should be used.
