In the new grade, it is natural for a boy to be naughty, but the new naughty is manifested in all aspects, all the time: inattention in class, looking around, and the teacher raising his hand when asking questions. He stood up and said he didn't know; Running around, the water in the class will shake its head and the cup will be lifted high and low.
On one occasion, Xinxin ran around her classmate and knocked him down at the corner of the table, causing her nose to bleed.
Another time, after receiving hot water, I stumbled away and spilled hot water on my classmates.
Sister Yin knows that her son is naughty. At home, he likes to jump around; In the community, he likes to jump around and pick leaves.
She has always believed that her son is purely naughty, children are more active, have the right to exercise, are good for health, and don't interfere too much. She was sued by the teacher eight times before she realized that her son was not just naughty.
In fact, Xinxin's behavior belongs to ADHD children.
How many parents hurt their children because of ignorance?
ADHD, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a common behavioral disorder in children.
ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity.
At the beginning of the article, I mentioned the specific manifestations of the heart that conforms to tachycardia: inattention in class, looking around, impulsiveness, raising hands indiscriminately, but unable to answer, and like to rebound constantly, so the new behavior is ADHD children.
Many times, we think that children are naughty and force them to change themselves through weak behavior, but we don't know that children can't control themselves. If you don't take active intervention measures, it may cause more harm to your children.
1) affects learning
Children with ADHD can't concentrate on their studies because of their inattention, and their academic performance is usually not satisfactory. They can easily affect the classroom order and hinder other students' classroom learning.
China Youth Daily reported that eight-year-old Jessica Hester Hsuan suffered from ADHD, and dozens of parents gathered at the school gate, holding banners and begging to learn to drive him away.
Some parents said that Jessica Hester Hsuan was not very attentive in class, so he would make some small gestures, be speechless, and sometimes make strange expressions. In short, they don't want their children to study with such children.
Although it is heartbreaking that ADHD children are deprived of the right to education, some behaviors of children in class not only affect the normal teaching order, but also affect the study of other students.
Xuan Xuan really made other children's parents feel helpless, so their parents advised him to leave.
This is poor for children with ADHD, but if it brings inconvenience to the management of teachers and adversely affects students' learning, it will really make people feel uncomfortable. At this time, parents' behavior is also reasonable.
2) Affect interpersonal communication
The new article mentioned at the beginning of the article ran from one class to another and once bumped into a classmate's nose and threw water at him. This kind of behavior will make students feel unsafe, and everyone will naturally revolve around him.
No one likes naughty children who move more, or even classmates who suddenly move. In this way, everyone will think that this child is a "dangerous person" and take the initiative to stay away from him, which will affect the child's interpersonal communication and self-esteem.
Etiology of ADHD in children
1) Genetic factors
Studies have shown that ADHD is related to genetic factors, and the heritability is 0.75-0.9 1. The mode of inheritance is not clear, and it may be polygenic. Molecular genetics research shows that the disease is related to dopamine receptor gene polymorphism.
Therefore, if parents have ADHD, they should observe their children more. Once the child is found to have ADHD, it is necessary to intervene and correct it in time.
2) Children's environment
A study published in the United States shows that younger children are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than older children in a class.
In addition to the external environment, the family environment has a great influence on ADHD children.
With the improvement of people's material and cultural level, they no longer beat and scold children blindly, but give them love and tolerance. However, bottomless tolerance and excessive indulgence will make children become free and self-disciplined and have poor self-discipline ability. Once out of the small world of the family, the psychological gap between children who are not concerned will become larger and easier to move.
3) Lack of trace elements
My sister's children are active, focused and have poor learning ability. She took her nephew to the hospital. The doctor asked him to test trace elements. The results showed that he was short of zinc.
The doctor said that zinc deficiency can easily lead to ADHD in children. It is recommended to take medicine in daily life and eat more foods containing zinc. Foods such as lean meat, fish and pig liver are rich in zinc. Children with zinc deficiency might as well eat more.
In the face of ADHD, parents can do this.
Parents should not think that ADHD will recover automatically when they grow up, which is not the case.
30% of ADHD will continue into adulthood, even with people's life, which will affect academic and career development to some extent.
Therefore, for severe ADHD, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible and take medicine when necessary. If it is not serious, parents can adopt scientific methods to strengthen their behavior.
1) Parents must concentrate on talking with their children.
In order to take care of two children, my sister specially found a job in kindergarten. It's tiring to go to work and take care of the children during the day. So, at home, she often lies on the sofa and uses her mobile phone. When her son talks to her, she often perfunctory: I see, stop arguing and wait a minute. ...
Parents play games and indoctrinate their children's behavior, and children are easily imitated, so children will be half-hearted and absent-minded when doing things.
Parents should concentrate on communicating with their children, set an example and set a good example for their children.
2) Parents should give their children positive feedback.
Children all want to be encouraged and praised by their parents. When parents get along with their children, they can give them more encouragement and praise, which is especially important for their growth.
For example, let children recite an ancient poem. Remember two sentences first, and then gradually increase. When children can recite a complete ancient poem, parents will encourage them to improve their self-confidence through encouragement.
Let children do tasks, first do things that are easy to complete, give encouragement and applause after completion, and then continue to the next goal, gradually increasing the difficulty, so that children have the motivation and confidence to complete the task. A little progress, a little progress.
After gaining a sense of accomplishment, children are interested in calming down and continuing to explore, gradually calming down and gradually overcoming ADHD.
3) lead a regular life
When you take your children to travel or visit relatives and friends, you will often find that children are not as good as at home, eat less, sleep less, and even cry when they encounter a bad life. This is because the rules of life have been broken, and children have become restless and unable to calm down. After returning home, the child will soon return to normal and become safer.
Violating the laws of life will make children fidgety, affect their inner peace and become extremely anxious; On the contrary, regular life, regular work and rest time and regular sleep will make children feel more secure.
4) Reward children in time
In order to enhance children's good behavior, parents often reward their children with materials, but long-term material rewards often make children have a bigger appetite and like bargaining.
In order to stimulate the intrinsic motivation of ADHD children, parents can reward their children with token system.
Token plan, also known as token economy, is a behavior processing method, which uses tokens, certificates, prizes and other tokens as rewards to strengthen good behavior.
Using token method, children accomplish one thing, and parents give coins and accumulate a certain number of coins in exchange for gifts or wishes.
This method can make children with ADHD do things regularly in a planned way for a period of time. Quantifying money can quantify children's behavior, and children can intuitively feel the feedback of their efforts. As your favorite gift, children's attention and good behavior will be enhanced.
The token system is like a game, which can not only keep children's attention for a period of time, treat and relieve ADHD, but also help children develop good behavior habits.
Parents don't have to worry if they find that their children have ADHD. Under the guidance of doctors, using the above four methods will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
In fact, children with ADHD have great potential. Once developed, the potential is endless.
Historically, many great men suffered from ADHD when they were young.
For example, the greatest physicists Einstein, Newton and Edison; Writer Andersen, lev tolstoy; Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Van Gogh; Sports superstar Michael Jordan, superstar Tom Cruise, chemist and biologist Pasteur, philosopher Socrates and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School Edward Halliwell.
They all suffered from ADHD to varying degrees in childhood, but they all made great achievements through their own efforts.
As Montessori, an outstanding Italian thinker in early childhood education, said: "Childhood is the most important period in a person's life development. During this period, his body and mind are in the process of continuous production and development, and the child has rich potential. With a positive creative instinct, you can get all kinds of impressions and cultural patterns from the outside world, selectively absorb them, and actively adapt to the external environment, thus developing and improving all your abilities and personality. "
Children with ADHD can actively adapt to the external environment and exert their great potential through scientific parenting methods, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
Attachment: Some behaviors seem to be related to ADHD, but have nothing to do with ADHD, such as muscle twitch and restless leg syndrome, which all show hyperactivity. Don't label children with ADHD casually. Instead, we must have a targeted examination and ask a professional doctor for treatment.
