Do middle school students and children with ADHD need treatment?

Speaking of ADHD in children, I believe many parents and teachers are familiar with it. It is a disease that often occurs in some children. The main symptoms of the children are inattention in class, love to walk around, hyperactivity and mischief. Many parents think that this is due to their children’s personality and do not take it seriously. Often it is because of this idea that they neglect the treatment of sick children. ADHD needs treatment. Let’s take a look at the treatment measures with the editor now!

1. Help children concentrate. Focus on the things the child likes, play games with him, stimulate his interest in learning, and prolong his attention span. For example, when your child likes to draw, you should give him enough space and even draw with him.

2. Enrich children’s lives. Parents try to make their children's lives rich and colorful, giving them the opportunity to vent their excess energy. For example, let him participate in appropriate sports, such as balance beam, trampoline, etc.

3. Avoid foods containing lead. Lead poisoning is one of the causes of ADHD. Do not let your children eat foods containing lead, such as preserved eggs, popcorn, etc. Do not use aluminum utensils for children.

4. Encourage your children more and reduce their stress. Give your child appropriate encouragement and affirmation so that he can learn to persevere. Don’t call him a “stupid kid” just because he can’t count or play the piano. Don’t put pressure on your child and let him grow up easily.

5. Don’t quarrel in front of children. A bad relationship between parents is also one of the causes of ADHD. We should set a good example for our children and teach them that impulsiveness and noise are not the way to solve problems.

Experts say that the current treatments for ADHD mainly include medication, psychotherapy, behavioral therapy and diet therapy. Among them, central nervous system stimulants, such as Ritalin, are the most traditional, most widely used and most extensive treatment methods. They are more effective in treatment and can improve attention. However, the disadvantage of Ritalin is that it cannot cure the disease and can only be taken for a long time. The side effects mainly affect the growth and development of children.

After reading the content mentioned above by the editor, I believe everyone already knows how to treat children's ADHD. In fact, children's ADHD is a disease, not caused by the child's personality. Therefore, parents must attach importance to the importance of treatment and take their children to a regular hospital for examination in time to avoid serious consequences.
