Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in young children.
According to statistics, the rate of children with ADHD is increasing, especially between the ages of 3 and 11. Therefore, early recognition of the signs of ADHD will help parents and teachers provide timely support for children in both their studies and daily life.
Reduced attention
One of the easily recognizable symptoms of ADHD is lack of concentration. Young children often have difficulty concentrating and are easily distracted by surrounding factors.
For example, children will have difficulty completing homework or assigned tasks on their own, and will easily leave them unfinished. They are easily distracted and lose focus by sounds, images, or what is happening around them.
This is considered one of the basic symptoms of ADHD in children that parents need to pay attention to and have guidance to educate or have treatment as directed by a doctor.
Hyperactive
Children with ADHD often have a higher level of hyperactivity than other normal children, such as running, screaming, being hasty, and often doing things their own way.
Children with ADHD often do not like to be controlled by anyone and cannot control their speech. At the same time, they will have difficulty communicating and making friends at school.
Impulsive behavior
Impulsive temperament is manifested by irritability, impatience and being easily upset. In group activities, children often have difficulty waiting, are impatient and do not persevere in completing schoolwork or play.
Difficulty in time management
Children with ADHD often have difficulty organizing work and managing time in daily activities.
Children also find it difficult to proactively plan and schedule their own studies and play without the support of their parents.
Therefore, it is extremely important for parents to recognize early signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder to help children develop comprehensively and integrate into the community early.
