Symptoms of ADHD in children, mothers know it early

It is normal for children to be hyperactive, but excessive hyperactivity is ADHD. Children who are hyperactive have poor concentration and poor academic performance. Moreover, children with ADHD tend to behave impulsively. ADHD can be cured as long as formal methods are chosen.

Symptom 1: Lack of concentration

1. Often fail to pay attention to details or frequently make careless mistakes in homework, work or other activities;

2. Difficulty maintaining concentration at work or at play;

3. He often seems to be listening but not really listening when others are talking to him;

4. Often fails to complete homework, housework or work according to other people's instructions (not due to defiance or failure to understand);

5. Often have difficulty organizing work and study;

6. Often avoid, hate or are unwilling to do tasks that require concentration (such as schoolwork or homework);

7. Frequently lose items needed for study and activities (such as toys, school-assigned homework, pencils, books, or tools);

8. Often easily distracted by external stimuli;

9. It is easy to forget things in daily life.

Symptom 2: Hyperactive or impulsive behavior

1. Frequently moving hands and feet or twisting in seats;

2. Frequently leaving seats in classrooms or other environments where sitting is required;

3. Frequent running or crawling around in inappropriate situations (for adults or adolescents, this is limited to subjective feelings of restlessness):

4. Often have difficulty playing quietly or engaging in leisure activities;

5. Often busy or constantly moving as if "on a motor";

6. Often talk too much;

7. Often rushes to answer before others finish speaking;

8. Often have difficulty waiting quietly or queuing in order;

9. Often interrupt or interfere with other people's activities (such as interrupting or interfering with other people's games).

Differentiating between ADHD and hyperactivity in children

1. Children with ADHD have few hobbies and interests. Even if they use their favorite game consoles or children's TV programs, they cannot concentrate on them. However, naughty children are completely different. Not only can they concentrate on the activities they are interested in, but they also hate the interference and influence of others.

2. The actions of children with ADHD are impulsive, disorganized, and have no beginning or end. For example, they cannot concentrate when doing homework, and they do it half-heartedly and carelessly. They start things but never finish them, often give up halfway or change them frequently. The behavior of naughty children has a certain purpose and is planned and arranged.

3. Children with ADHD have poor self-control. No matter what the occasion, they are always busy and noisy. For example, they cannot sit still in the classroom and often twist or stand up in their seats. In serious cases, they leave their seats and walk around, or leave the classroom without permission. They talk a lot, make noise, interrupt, and cause trouble, affecting classroom discipline in order to attract other people's attention. Naughty children are not like this. They can behave themselves in unfamiliar environments and serious occasions, dare not make trouble, and have strong self-control. Therefore, don’t assume that your child has ADHD when you see him/her being hyperactive. Labeling naughty children as having ADHD will only bring them unnecessary psychological pressure. If you cannot distinguish them yourself, you can go to a specialist hospital and let a doctor identify them.
