Patient's question:
How should a child with ADHD be treated? My child is 6 years old and is very active, mischievous, disobedient, and difficult to manage. Is it ADHD? How should it be treated? What should I do? Please help me, thank you!Doctor's answer:
ADHD patients generally do not have specific tests for this condition. Physical examinations of most children with ADHD are normal. Neurological examinations may reveal soft signs such as poor fine motor coordination, clumsy rapid alternating movements, ataxia, and pathological movements.Hello, when dealing with children with ADHD, in addition to medication and specialized brain psychological training, parents and teachers should also do the following:
(1) Set appropriate expectations. Initially, the expectations for the child should not be the same as those for a typical child. Instead, focus on keeping their behavior within a certain range, and gradually increase expectations later.
(2) Establish a routine. Parents and teachers should encourage the child to follow a consistent schedule.
