Common mistakes in parental care of children with ADHD

summary

Parents often have some misunderstandings in the care of ADHD children. If we do not pay attention to these misunderstandings, it may lead to the aggravation of children's symptoms and serious consequences.

Common mistakes in parental care of children with ADHD

1. No medication is required. Many parents think that ADHD is not a disease, it can be treated with psychotherapy, and it is a drug with three poisons. If you can not take medicine, you should try not to take it. Most people who criticize drug therapy think that the symptoms of ADHD are purely caused by social factors, but so far, there is no scientific evidence that social factors alone can lead to ADHD. 　　

2. Treatment is just a doctor's business. Parents think that the treatment of ADHD is only a matter of doctors, which is quite incorrect. The treatment of ADHD needs multi-faceted efforts, among which parents and teachers are more important in the treatment, because in a day's life, teachers and parents are the people who have the longest contact with children. They can change children's behavior according to scientific methods and improve the treatment effect.

3. Don't insist on medication. Some parents think that children's hyperactivity decreases after taking medicine, people become quiet, drugs affect the normal function of the brain, and children become "stupid", so they don't insist on taking medicine. This view is obviously wrong. ADHD is a chronic disease, its harm is much more serious than the adverse reactions of drugs, so we need to choose long-term drug treatment.

matters needing attention

ADHD is a chronic disease, which needs long-term treatment and regular review in the hospital. This can help doctors understand the changes of children's condition and adverse drug reactions, timely adjust drugs, and objectively evaluate children's condition, so as to avoid parents' subjective judgment.
