Is ADHD harmful to elementary school students?

Primary school students are the group most likely to suffer from ADHD. Many parents may think that after suffering from the disease, they will just be more naughty than other children of the same age, and it will generally not harm their physical health. However, it has been scientifically proven that ADHD may have adverse effects on oneself and the people around you. The editor will analyze it in detail below, so everyone must read it carefully.

1. Harm to individuals. Children with mild ADHD simply cannot concentrate on their studies and cannot take the initiative to learn, resulting in poor academic performance; they cannot control their behavior, and are disobedient and discriminated against. Children with severe ADHD experience a significant decline in academic performance, are unable to keep up with the class, and have difficulty completing elementary and junior high school. Behavior that causes trouble and interferes with others. As they grow older, they lose self-control and are more susceptible to bad influences and temptations, which may lead to fighting, lying, stealing, and even committing crimes.

2. Harm to the family. Children with ADHD not only have poor academic performance, but also hate studying, skip classes, and disrupt classroom order. Therefore, they are often called to the teacher to be criticized, which makes their parents ashamed and angry. After returning home, they scold and beat their children. Some hire private tutors at high prices, wasting a lot of time and money but to no avail; some cause children to develop antagonism and hatred towards their parents, affecting family harmony.

3. Harm to schools. In school, children with ADHD often disrupt class order, fight, steal and cause damage, and have poor grades. Even if teachers put a lot of effort, there is little effect. If there are more children like this in a class, the quality of teaching will inevitably be affected, which will make the teachers particularly annoyed and they will always want to make them repeat a grade or even expel them.

In a word, the harm caused to primary school students once they suffer from ADHD is immeasurable. Therefore, the editor here would like to strongly remind all parents to pay attention to their children's growth process. When typical symptoms such as inattention are found, they should go to the pediatric outpatient clinic for examination in time, and use medication if necessary.
