How should I treat my child’s ADHD? ADHD is not a temporary phenomenon. It can have a variety of adverse effects on children, so parents should bring their children to treatment. Treatment includes a combination of home and school and appropriate medication, both of which are essential. First, parents should have a proper understanding of the disorder and explain the truth to their children so that they have some understanding of ADHD and remind them not to use ADHD as an excuse to be naughty. Parents should also promptly tell the teacher about the condition and ask the school to cooperate with the treatment to help the child overcome the difficulties. The teacher should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and should not regard the child’s hyperactivity as a failure of parental discipline. They should strengthen the tutoring and supervision of the baby and reduce the academic burden. The teacher can implement a “best friend” strategy for them, so that the “best friend” can help to reduce the baby’s condition at any time. Teachers and parents should not easily blame or scold babies, and should praise them for their strengths. Experts advocate education and behavior modification for babies under the age of 6, and medication for school-age children over the age of 6. Central stimulants are the drugs of choice. Currently the most commonly used is Ritalin. This drug is easily absorbed, highly effective, and reduces the baby’s small movements and greatly improves academic performance after using the drug. The side effects are loss of appetite, nausea and insomnia, but they are usually not serious. If the baby shows symptoms of anxiety or depression, add antidepressants such as desipramine and nortriptyline. About 2/3 of children with ADHD who receive treatment grow up without associated psychiatric symptoms.
