Patient's question:
How to treat a child with ADHD? The child is 6 years old this year. In daily life, he is very active, mischievous, disobedient, and uncontrollable. Is it ADHD? How should ADHD be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD 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 typical children. 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 schedule.
