Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old and is attending kindergarten this year. His homeroom teacher has reported that he has difficulty concentrating, bites his nails, doesn't study seriously, is hyperactive, and doesn't listen to advice. I am very worried and don't know what to do. Could you please explain what might be happening?Doctor's answer:
It's normal for children to bite their nails, and this requires parents to guide them carefully. Tell the child about the bad effects of biting nails and appropriately divert their attention. Gradually change their habits. You can also cultivate the child's interests and hobbies, as doing things they enjoy can help develop their ability to concentrate. Remember not to hit or scold the child, but instead provide patient guidance. Wishing your baby good health.
