Hello, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral problem in children. Children with this condition have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit deficits in learning, behavior, and emotional regulation. Diagnosis involves several aspects:Hyperactivity: This often begins in early childhood and becomes more pronounced after starting school. Children may engage in constant fidgeting during class, be prone to provocation, and frequently fight with peers.
Inattention: They may not concentrate during learning tasks, have short attention spans in class, and react to stimuli from all directions.
First, it is important to supplement zinc for the child. Zinc is a crucial element for maintaining acid-base balance, and one of the main causes of ADHD is excessive lead in the blood. Consuming zinc helps reduce lead levels in the body. Therefore, regularly eating foods like fish, peanuts, and eggs can help supplement zinc.
