Is this a naughty child or ADHD!?

In my years of practice I have seen many expat and Chinese parents whom confuse the child’s symptoms and for many years blamed their children to be a bad or naughty child. In result the poor child did not have any chance to get psychological treatment to overcome his difficulties at early age. Below, I briefly state few symptoms of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to help parents recognizing the problem. As a reminder not every child has all the following symptoms. 

Some of these symptoms are:

-Quite hyperactive

-Often loosing things easily

-Often fail to complete chores

-Homework has many careless errors and messy

-Often having behavior problem

-Often having problem with attention (easily distracted)

-Problem with concentration

-Problem with impulsivity (engage in many dangerous actions without being aware of its consequence such as crossing the road without looking)

-Having difficulty waiting

-Interrupt others when talking 

-Having learning problem

-Having low self confidence

-Often anxious, history of bed-wetting

Children with ADD or ADHD are quite smart but due to lack of attention and concentration stay behind which affects their self confidence causing anxiety and depression which worsen their symptoms. Consequently, these children stay behind in their education.

To save your child’s happiness and education seek a psychological help for your child today! 

Take care
