◆ ADHD
ADHD is the most common disorder in young boys, and can be found in some adults. In addition, because it is a type of mental health disorder, it is highly likely to be misdiagnosed as other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar affections, which have similar symptoms. Parents should consult with their doctor.
Most are manifested by heredity, but other environmental factors may be present in adults as well as children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to environmental toxins during pregnancy or smoking or drinking alcohol can cause ADHD in children. Brain damage and premature birth are also the causes of ADHD.
However, there is a view that wise child-rearing can improve the symptoms of children with ADHD. According to one study, negative parenting, which makes sounds or criticizes, is ineffective in heartbeat and behavioral and emotional responses in children with ADHD. Threatening or punishing can also lead to an aggressive tendency.
Michael Manos, a physician at the Cleveland Clinic, says that parents should sometimes self-evaluate themselves in the way they speak and communicate when they feel frustrated, or simply write or describe children And to encourage them to explain themselves to them.

◆ ADHD child care tips
1. Planning: Do not be confused by having to plan and follow the plan every day. In other words, you have to make a structural schedule that your child can easily follow. It is easier to spend the day, especially if you like your morning schedule and make it reasonable. Also, it is a good idea to have a schedule that is simple and clear enough to do the next thing. For example, before breakfast, you can organize your bed, brush your teeth, wear clothes, and then have your meal ready. If you have regular activities that can take place on a weekly basis, you can feel more fun.
2. Understand rules and discipline: When disciplining a child, it is necessary to explain why a particular act is wrong and what the outcome of such an act is. One of the most common mistakes parents make is to use discipline and punishment in combination. The vicious cycle of screaming, punishing, or sneaking, preaching, or finally begging children with toys or other compensation is not helpful at all. The best way to discipline is to empower them to do the right thing by rewarding them when they have accomplished or accomplished small things.
3. Recognizing your own faults: One of the points parents should bear in mind is that children with ADHD symptoms are likely to be distracted. Because of this, your child may not listen carefully to pay attention or to speak seriously. In this case, instead of angering the children, they are aware that the children are having difficulties. Especially, it can be difficult to follow a specific topic in school class or to make friends in social life. At this time, parents should understand and recognize that their child's ADHD status is acting as a fundamental factor in their child's behavior.
4. Change the way you talk: Children with ADHD need to take medications for treatment, but it's even more important to remind them of why medication is important. If you are upset and angry about not having any medication, you have only the consequences of encouraging children to think that they are not in control of their actions.
In addition, enough sleep and exercise is required. Children are energetic and encourage them to be energetic and able to spew energy. It also helps maintain good health through appropriate dieting.
