Patient's question:
My son has ADHD. The teacher said he doesn't pay attention in class and keeps fidgeting. At home, he blinks a lot more often, and we thought it was because we were scaring him. He often goes to the hospital for medication, but it doesn't seem to work well. I want to know how to manage my son's ADHD properly. How should I take care of a child with ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Help ADHD children concentrate. Focus on the things your child likes, play with them, and engage their interest in learning to extend their attention span. For example, when a child likes drawing, you should give them enough space, even draw with them. Enrich your child's life. Parents try to make their child's life rich and varied, so they have a chance to release their excess energy. For example, let them participate in appropriate sports, such as balance beams, trampolines, etc. Parents can reduce hyperactivity and correct bad behavior in children through specific training programs. Cultivate your child's self-control. Through behavioral guidance, children's behavior should be actively affirmed and praised to enhance their self-confidence.
