What to do with mild ADHD?

It is natural for children to be playful and naughty. But some children give their parents a lot of headaches. In life, many children show particularly active behavior.

Some children also suffer from intrauterine infection, hypoxia, asphyxia at birth, etc. at birth or during their mother's pregnancy, which may cause brain damage. There are also many external factors: a bad relationship between parents, children’s learning difficulties, or excessive study pressure can all weaken the brain’s regulatory function and contribute to the occurrence and continuation of ADHD. The treatment for ADHD in children is not simply drug therapy, but includes psychotherapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, diet therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and Western medicine treatment.

Generally speaking, the fluctuations in clinical symptoms of ADHD children are sometimes related to the different occasions and activities in which the children are engaged. Children with ADHD have the most difficulty maintaining their attention when doing homework, engaging in repetitive or effortful activities, and doing things that are not new.

The first step is to understand the cause of the disease, which can prevent ADHD in children. First of all, in order to avoid the influence of genetic factors, pregnant women should pay attention to cultivating their temperament, keeping a happy mood, mental peace, avoiding cold and heat, preventing diseases, using drugs with caution, prohibiting drugs, prohibiting tobacco and alcohol, and avoiding poisoning, trauma and physical factors. Parents should adopt scientific educational methods to reduce the mental pressure and ideological burden on their children, give more encouragement and less discrimination, more affirmation and less negation. Parents' harsh and coercive educational methods, over-indulgence, and over-protection may all cause children to suffer from ADHD.
