Patient's question:
My son is 13 years old and in elementary school. Recently, he often calls me saying that he always can't concentrate in class. What could be the reason for a 3.5-year-old child's lack of concentration?Doctor's answer:
One might be easily distracted by various things, even though there are areas of particular interest, it is still difficult to actively focus on them. Children with this kind of temperament tend to have a higher degree of distractibility. Parents should provide early and extensive support, otherwise, during school age, they may experience symptoms of ADHD again, which could interfere with practice and discipline. Before starting specialized training, it is important to identify the child's interests and then find quiet activities within those interests to begin training their attention.
