How to treat children with ADHD?

Children are the most playful during this period, but it is also the most critical period for them to learn scientific and cultural knowledge. Suffering from ADHD will have a great negative impact on children's growth and physical health, which usually makes parents feel worried. However, there are many methods in clinical medicine to treat ADHD. Next, the editor will list the treatments with significant effects.

1. Drug treatment. Drugs for treating this disease can be divided into central nervous system stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics and antiepileptics, but central nervous system stimulants methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine are generally used as drugs.

2. Develop children's attention. The child's unintentional attention is dominant, so you can let him engage in activities that interest him, such as looking at picture books and listening to stories. As the child grows older, you can consciously let him play chess, draw, etc. to train his concentration and persistence. However, children should not be asked to study or do things for too long to avoid causing fatigue.

3. Cultivate children’s habit of starting and ending things well. When children are doing things, they are often easily disturbed by external things, such as other people's conversations, noises outside the window, etc., which will cause children to give up what they are doing. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to and guide their children in doing things, give them affirmation and praise, and encourage them to do everything well from beginning to end, and persist in doing everything to the end without giving up halfway.

4. Psychiatric treatment. The sick child should be treated with patience, care and love. Children with bad behaviors and illegal acts should be given positive disciplinary education, and should be given more inspiration and encouragement. When behavioral treatment is successful, rewards should be given. No mental pressure should be applied, and no scolding or corporal punishment should be given.

After reading this, I believe that all parents have understood the treatment methods for ADHD. Generally speaking, comprehensive and systematic measures are still needed. Only in this way can the discomfort symptoms of children be fundamentally alleviated. Moreover, the cooperation of parents can play an important role in this process, so the editor reminds you to actively participate.
