Don't! Although hyperactivity is one of the symptoms of ADHD, it is too one-sided to take this as a standard.
Many parents say that children can't sit still in class, swing from side to side, touch things and play games on weekdays, and even teachers doubt whether he is ADHD. You know, there are strict conditions for judging ADHD in children. We can't think that a child has ADHD just because he is lively and active.
If a child lacks adequate sensory nourishment as a child, the child's brain will send instructions to the body to seek sensory stimulation. At this time, he will also show some inappropriate excitement and movements, so hyperactivity can never be the only criterion for ADHD. If you want to determine whether your child is ADHD, you should start with the following seven manifestations:
1. ADHD since childhood
This "childhood" should begin before the child is born. Some children who are too active have affected their mother's normal daily life with frequent and severe fetal movements since the fetal period, and they are even more noisy after birth. Of course, some children may be quiet before their first birthday. Once they learn to walk, they begin to become hyperactive, always climbing up and down and rampaging.
2. Can't concentrate on things
Inattention is a typical feature of ADHD children, and any slight change in the surrounding environment will distract them. In addition, their concentration time is also very short, and they often walk back and forth after three or five minutes of silence, so it is always difficult for them to complete one thing completely.
be on an impulse
They often act without thinking, and the same mistake may be repeated ten times without learning from it. Of course, waiting and frustration are unbearable for them, for example, they don't obey the order when participating in group games, they lose their temper because they are too excited and don't want to learn difficult things.
4. Sensory disorder
Basically, every child with ADHD is accompanied by sensory disorders. Because they don't get enough targeted sensory stimulation, they can't help themselves to make up for it, that is, they can get more different sensory stimulation by constantly walking. However, due to their poor perception, the quality of their actions is often not ideal. For example, a child with a poor sense of balance will appear to have poor motor skills during the movement, and it is easy to fall and get injured; For example, children with poor fine movements, although constantly moving around, often break various items and toys; For another example, children with visual impairment, even if they like to play puzzles, can't finish their works well because of the difficulties of visual recognition and visual memory.
5. Have learning disabilities
This is because hyperactive children are generally unable to concentrate and develop thinking habits, and children with poor sensory integration ability are not ideal in learning, absorption and operation. So you will find that even if these children look smart, their academic performance is often unsatisfactory.
6. It is difficult to control emotions.
In addition to impulsiveness, children with ADHD are often condemned and frustrated because they are easy to influence others, so they are also prone to emotional problems such as depression and self-denial. Especially when he loses a correct understanding of his image in his mind, it is easy to become self-destructive and self-pitying.
7. Be active at all times
A normally active child may be more active in some aspects, but when he is doing something he likes and is interested in, he can concentrate on it. To use an appropriate word to describe it is "moving like a rabbit, quiet as a virgin." Therefore, when parents find that their children can't be quiet at any time, any occasion or any activity, they really need to pay enough attention.
These are the seven main behavioral characteristics of ADHD children. If parents find that their children do have hyperactivity through comparison, don't worry. Through early intervention, timely treatment and other positive measures, the possibility of children returning to normal is still great. Therefore, the next four improvement measures must be remembered!
1. Sensory training of dynamic and static combination
By strengthening the sensory training of dynamic and static combination, the organization and planning of their brain nerve activities can be improved from the inside! For example, let children play physical sports games for a period of time, such as racket ball, skipping rope, playing badminton, riding a bike and so on. Then do some activities that require meditation for a period of time, such as coloring, building blocks, wearing beads, etc.
2. Active psychological counseling
Parents should not pass on their pessimistic and negative emotions to their children. If a child encounters setbacks in life because of hyperactivity, parents should actively help the child get out of the psychological shadow, regain confidence and regain courage through explanation, encouragement and comfort.
3. Clearly establish a rule order
Children with ADHD are prone to do things that violate the rules because of their weak self-discipline. Although it is not intentional, parents should also promptly and patiently remind them of the correct order of the rules. Don't let children use "illness" as an excuse to become more willful. Of course, when establishing rule awareness for ADHD children, we must pay attention to expressing clearly and simply, and don't tell them too complicated rules and dogmas.
4. Find advantages and be persuasive
Parents must remember that children with ADHD are not backward in intelligence, and may even surpass ordinary children in some aspects. Therefore, parents must be good at discovering their children's hobbies and specialties, and be good at persuading them to give full play to their talents as much as possible. In this way, he can better mobilize his initiative and let him focus more on what he likes.
Children with ADHD don't mean that they are worse than other children, but they are afraid that parents will not pay attention to their children's ADHD tendency and blindly adhere to the view that "children will grow up". This is the most terrible thing! The above four suggestions are not difficult to operate. As long as parents are willing to spend time with their children to train slowly, why not worry about their children's improvement? # Early education # # Synaesthesia disorder # # Language retardation # # Parenting #
