Text/Shao Lin Xiaohua, 4 years old, is a naughty child all day. In kindergarten, there is almost no time to sit down. Others are in class. How is he? Either roll on the table or climb under it. Strangely, he listens to everything the teacher says, and he understands all the questions. Because Xiaohua jumps around like a motor every day, Xiaohua's mother suspects that he has ADHD and takes Xiaohua to the hospital for a doctor's examination. After a detailed assessment of Xiaohua, the doctor thinks that Xiaohua has no disease, but is just a smart and active child. The difference between smart children and hyperactive children "Children first" Advantage Teacher Lin Jianghua, a technical education consultant of the Character Training Center, said that children who are active do not mean that children have ADHD. On the contrary, quite a few active children are very smart and talented children. However, due to the lack of correct guidance, their talents are often buried and become what people call "bad children". Although ADHD children and smart and active children often leave their seats in class. However, there are obvious differences between hyperactive children and smart and active children. For example, in terms of attention, a smart and active child is very focused on what he is interested in, and others will show disgust when they interfere with him. But ADHD children are absent-minded no matter what they do. In terms of self-control, smart and active children can behave quietly and stay in strange places or environments with specific requirements. But ADHD children run or crawl around. In terms of cognition, smart and active children have quick thinking and excellent short-term memory. If you teach a ballad, you can write it down quickly. Children with ADHD are confused, disorganized and have poor short-term memory. In addition, smart and active children behave purposefully and systematically, unlike children with ADHD who are impulsive and difficult to distinguish goals. Eating porridge for breakfast aggravates ADHD. Lin Jianghua said that parents need to pay more attention to methods in diet, sleep and education to discipline these smart and active children. Cantonese people like to give their children some porridge for breakfast, which is easy to digest. But drinking only rice porridge for breakfast will aggravate the symptoms of ADHD. This is because rice porridge is full and hungry, and his blood sugar begins to drop around 10, which is easy to make children feel hungry. These mild symptoms will not be obvious, but they will make children unable to concentrate in class, leading to children running around and their memory ability will decrease accordingly. For preschool and school-age children, besides carbohydrates, protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs and beans should be added to breakfast, which can help children stick to their study time in the morning. Turning on the light at night is good for children. When sleeping at night, some parents like to turn on a light for their children, for fear that they are afraid of the dark. In fact, this actually interferes with the natural sleep mode of their biological clocks. Because artificial light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin in children, it is more difficult for active children to fall asleep. It is difficult for children to concentrate when they get up the next day. Turn off the headlights in the room one hour before going to bed and only turn on the small desk lamp. By lowering the brightness, it will also help children fall asleep faster. Choose your child's favorite interest class. Some parents think their children are really active. In order to cultivate his quiet personality, they enrolled him in painting, piano, chess and other interest classes that needed to sit down. In this regard, Lin Jianghua also said that it is not appropriate. Because these active children are often not interested in these art projects, children can't get pleasure from them, so they can't persist, let alone cultivate their concentration. The most common situation is that parents send their children to the classroom, but the children are running around in the classroom. The correct way is to choose children's favorite interest classes, such as football, swimming, roller skating, etc., to vent their exuberant energy and improve their endurance and self-control ability. It is easier to cultivate concentration through activities that these children are interested in. Increase the difficulty of the game for active children. For these smart and active children, it is necessary to appropriately increase the difficulty and challenge of the game to prevent the child from getting bored and let him concentrate better. Team interactive games are also very suitable for these children, which can not only give full play to their communication skills, but also cultivate them to learn to wait patiently, improve their concentration and self-confidence, thus shaping their superior character and ability. However, giving children the freedom to choose hobbies does not mean that there is no bottom line for anything. Lin Jianghua stressed that it is necessary to set rules for children to prevent them from doing whatever they want. If the bottom line is exceeded, parents must say "no". Shao Lin
