What are the drugs for treating ADHD?

The term ADHD may not be unfamiliar to parents who already have children, which is becoming more and more common in modern times. As parents, we all hope that our children can quickly acquire knowledge and become knowledgeable and useful people. However, due to their lack of concentration, children with ADHD also absorb knowledge at a significantly lower speed than normal children, which affects the children's growth. So, what are the medications for ADHD?

1. Behavioral therapy: This is a commonly used psychological therapy, which aims to correct bad behavior patterns. It takes "learning" as the principle, improves non-functional or non-adaptive behaviors, and rebuilds or restores good behavior patterns, especially for destructive behaviors.

2. Family therapy: Parents should give comfort to their children and learn to understand and sympathize with each other. The purpose is to: coordinate and improve the relationship between family members. In many families, the parent-child relationship is relatively tense, so measures should be taken to enhance the parent-child relationship; give parents the necessary guidance so that parents can correctly understand children's ADHD.

3. It can 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 required to study or do things for too long, so as not to cause fatigue.

4. 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.

5. Cultivate children's self-control. We need to improve children's awareness, let them know what to do and what not to do, and help them gradually learn to correctly judge and evaluate their own behavior; we need to formulate some simple rules and regulations as children's behavioral norms, so that children can restrain their own behavior and develop good behavioral habits.

6. Direct excess energy into what it does. Children who engage in too much of this type of activity need positive guidance. Parents and teachers should organize them to participate in various sports activities, such as running, playing ball, climbing, long jumping, etc.
