ADHD Children


Book Description

While some children exhibit mostly inattentive behaviors and others predominantly hyperactive and impulsive, the majority of those with ADHD have a combination of both, which may make it very difficult for them to function in school, and create a lot of conflict at home. Symptoms of Hyperactive or Impulsive ADHD Fidgeting or squirming, trouble staying in one place or waiting his turn Excessive running and climbing Trouble playing quietly Extreme impatience Always seems to be "on the go" or "driven by a motor" Excessive talking or interrupting, blurting out answers Symptoms of Inattentive ADHD Makes careless mistakes Is easily distracted Has difficulty following instructions Doesn't seem to be listening when spoken to directly Has trouble organizing Avoids or dislikes sustained effort Is forgetful, always losing things Treatment and Prognosis In most cases, the first line of treatment for ADHD is medication which helps children concentrate and limit impulsiveness. Psychostimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and dextroamphetamine (Adderall) are commonly used to stimulate the production of neurotransmitters that regulate attention and impulse control. Behavior therapy is sometimes used in combination with medication. Parent-child interaction therapy and other forms of parent training teach parents how to cultivate good behaviors while minimizing impulsive or inattentive ones. When a child is old enough, cognitive behavioral therapy can help teach a child to control his behaviors by understanding how his thoughts and feelings influence them. ADHD Children The Complete Guide for Parents is a book where you will learn indispensable tips to help your child do well in school, avoid getting into trouble with family members and other people, make friends easily, and be better equipped to succeed later in life.
