Patient's question:
Your child is in first grade. Recently, the teacher has been saying that she doesn't concentrate in class, likes to fidget, and even bothers the students next to her during lessons. She also likes to do silly actions. Is ADHD a disease?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for children with ADHD include behavioral therapy, which primarily involves training children to engage in appropriate cognitive activities, improve attention, and overcome distractions. Secondly, specific training programs are used to reduce excessive activity in children and correct behaviors, cultivating their self-control abilities. Through behavioral guidance, children should be promptly affirmed and praised when their behavior improves, to enhance their self-confidence. When educating children with ADHD, it is essential to be patient and avoid harsh criticism, sarcasm, or physical punishment, which can damage their self-esteem.
