Listing The Symptoms of ADHD Children
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or concerned friend knowing the
symptoms of ADHD can be an invaluable tool in both recognizing the condition
and dealing with these special children. It may also help parents of ADHD
children recognize that may have the condition (50% do) and encourage family therapy or self-help methods to better cope.
As you may already known the symptoms of ADHD children are classified in
three different categories; inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The
primary category is inattention and encompasses such things as lack of
sustained attention, problems with concentration, and the inability to finish
tasks. The child may also be overactive and impulsive. Many children under the
age of 6 are quite nervous, and may have problems communicating and interacting
which in turn may lead to less than stellar behavior. They may also be
impatient and be observed fidgeting and squirming.
Next, if you have a few more minutes to spare why don't we break down
the symptoms of ADHD children (inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity) into
separate categories focusing on recognizable behaviors.
Inattention or Distractibility
They are: not being able to concentrate, spacing out, poor time
management skills, starting but not finishing projects, forgetfulness, becoming
distracted even when outside factors aren't the cause, unusually sensitive to
outside distractions, being able to focus sometimes but not other times, being
able to focus well on some things but not on others, making careless mistakes,
poor handwriting skills, trouble with detail, focusing on the big picture
instead of specific details, procrastination, shying away from tasks which
require sustained mental effort, and constantly losing things.
Impulsivity
They are: impatience, insisting on immediate gratification, inexplicably
blurting out answers before a question is finished, acting without any
consideration of the consequences, failure to respect others personal space,
butting into conversations, saying unsuitable things, saying the first thing
that comes to mind, and difficulty finding the patience to wait in line or wait
his/her turn.
Hyperactivity
They are: talking non-stop
(mainly seen in ADHD girls), very high energy levels making them appear as if
they are always on the go, inability to sit still, constant fidgeting, restlessness
to point where failure to do so leads to lack of concentration and focus,
difficulty playing or engaging in quite time activities, excessive climbing or
running, and trouble staying seated in a classroom environment.
What next? Once the symptoms
of ADHD children have been recognized the obvious next question is what to do
next? For parents of children struggling with ADHD the answer likely is finding
an effective treatment option. The most common forms of treatment are
prescription stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall and non-stimulant medications
such as Intuniv or Strattera. While effective, all ADHD prescription
medications come with a number of serious label warnings.
The risk of side effects, or perhaps lack of success (30% of the time),
has prompted many parents to favor non-prescription options. A couple examples of
these are behavior modification therapy and/or natural remedies. Natural
remedies for ADHD are a side effect free way to address such problematic
symptoms as inattention, distractibility, impulsivity, erratic behavior and
hyperactivity and can be used both as a standalone treatment or as a compliment
to other non-prescription alternatives. They also have been shown to produce
long-term lasting benefits about half of the time.
