Children with ADHD are smarter. Why?

summary

First, there is no clear evidence that children with ADHD have higher intelligence. On the contrary, some people classify children with ADHD as children with low intelligence, which is also incorrect. Statistics show that the intelligence of children with ADHD is normal or close to normal. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a kind of behavioral disorder, which is often manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, and often accompanied by learning disabilities. The children with ADHD mentioned in the title have higher intelligence, which is just an example. For example, there are relatively intelligent and stupid children in healthy children, and there are also intelligent and stupid children in ADHD, which does not represent all of them. Let's take a look at the following.

Children with ADHD are smarter. Why?

First: in the definition of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, there is a term "accompanied by learning disabilities". In fact, this is not caused by intelligence, but by the fact that most children with ADHD can no longer concentrate in class, and children do not have the patience to do homework, resulting in low academic performance, which does not represent the problem of intelligence.

Second: when children have difficulties in keeping quiet, concentrating on one thing, repeating a certain action repeatedly, quarreling with other children for many times, and even destroying toys and abusing pets, mothers and teachers must pay attention to it and follow it up.

Third: do not know whether the problem is wrong or what, do not think that ADHD is a more superior performance of intelligence, and refuse treatment, ADHD children if not treated, growing up can not concentrate will also affect his life and work, and ADHD children often impulsive behavior, prone to violence.

matters needing attention

In addition to drug treatment, ADHD children must be assisted with psychotherapy. Both parents and teachers should criticize and correct their children's bad behaviors, encourage their children's correct behaviors, help them improve their self-control ability, and cultivate their good living habits.
