What are the specific symptoms of ADHD in children?

Many parents find that their children cannot sit still. For example, when he is in class, he always likes to make small movements; when he is doing homework, he can't concentrate and must do some movements while doing his homework, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable and unhappy. We call this phenomenon ADHD. ADHD usually occurs in children but rarely in adults. Today I will talk to you about the specific manifestations of ADHD in children.

ADHD is a common psychological disease in children. Children with this disease generally have normal intelligence, but have characteristics that are inconsistent with their actual age, such as inattention, excessive activity, impulsiveness, willfulness, and poor self-control. If not corrected, it will affect children's learning. According to a survey, the incidence rate of ADHD is about 3%, and the incidence rate in boys is about 4-9 times that of girls.

1. These children engage in too many aimless activities. For example, during class, naughty children may do small movements intentionally to attract other people's attention or just for fun. But it is different for children with ADHD. They keep moving as if they are not under the control of their consciousness, such as shaking the table and chair aimlessly. Even if they are reminded, stopped or criticized by the teacher, they will immediately repeat the original small movements involuntarily.

2. These children have difficulty concentrating. They play while doing their homework, make random changes, stand up and move around without thinking, or interrupt others while they are doing their homework. It is rare to be fully focused and absorbed in doing something.

3. These children have poor self-control. When they are having fun, they shout, run, jump, dance, get inexplicably excited, cannot control themselves, and become carried away. They cannot have a restrained psychological reaction to adults' bored expressions or attempts to stop them. When subject to coercive restraint, instead of calming down, they display temper tantrums, unhappiness, venting frustration, and engaging in hostile and confrontational behavior. It makes adults feel annoyed and helpless, and makes peers hate, fear and stay away from them, so they are not sociable and are not respected by others.

The above are the specific manifestations of ADHD. If you find that your child has such behavior, you must go to the hospital to consult a psychologist in time and take correct treatment measures to treat ADHD. Otherwise, if it is delayed for too long, it may not be cured and may become a disease that will accompany the child forever, and the child’s future will also be affected.
