How to prevent ADHD in children?

ADHD in children may not seem to have any effect when they are young, but when they reach puberty and go to school, they begin to show signs of hyperactivity, which has a great impact on children. Generally, ADHD can be prevented. Usually, some close relatives marrying or choosing a spouse without a premarital physical examination, and also failure to do a good prenatal mid-term examination may lead to ADHD problems.

It is generally believed that the following measures can prevent the occurrence of ADHD to a certain extent:

1. Pre-marital examinations should be encouraged to avoid consanguineous marriages; when choosing a spouse, attention should be paid to whether the other party has mental illnesses such as epilepsy and schizophrenia.

2. Marry at an appropriate age, do not marry or get pregnant too early, nor too late, to avoid having a baby with congenital deficiencies; have a planned approach to eugenics.

3. In order to avoid birth trauma and reduce the chance of brain damage, natural childbirth should be adopted, because clinical findings show that the proportion of caesarean sections among children with ADHD is relatively high.

4. Pregnant women should pay attention to cultivating their temperament, maintaining a happy mood, mental peace, avoiding cold and heat, preventing diseases, using drugs with caution, refraining from smoking and drinking, and avoiding poisoning, trauma and the influence of physical factors.

5. Create a warm and harmonious living environment so that children can spend their childhood in a relaxed and happy environment. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and do not blindly expect them to become successful.

6. Pay attention to proper nutrition, help children develop good eating habits, and avoid partial or picky eating; ensure adequate sleep time.

7. Try to prevent children from playing with toys made of lead paint, especially not putting such toys in their mouths.
