ADHD, also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD for short, is not like a cold or fever that can be cured in a week or two. 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical guidelines clearly state that ADHD needs to be managed according to a chronic disease management model, just like hypertension, diabetes and other common chronic diseases. In other words, long-term adherence to medical advice is required, especially with medication, which requires good compliance. Three days of fishing and two days of sunbathing will not only lead to no effective improvement in symptoms, but also to relapse or even aggravation. Simply put, the good changes and behavioral habits that your child has made as a result of taking medication in the previous phase may be “lost” when the medication is discontinued before being consolidated. ★ So, why do parents forget to take medication or stop taking it on their own in daily life? Let’s listen to what parents have to say. They are the real voices we collected in the clinical interviews. 1.They are too busy at work and don’t have time, so they forget to prescribe the medicine. 2.The child’s symptoms have gotten better, and there are no exams recently, so they don’t take it. 3.Some side effects, afraid that it is not good for the child, so they stopped. 4, we do not take this ADHD seriously at all, my child is fine. 5, get up in the morning and busy, so I forgot to give him to eat. ★Tips for taking medication We understand the difficulties and obstacles that exist in real life. Here are some tips for you to try not to forget to take your child’s medication on time in the future. 1. Set reminders on your cell phone to remind you to take your medication every day when the time comes. 2.Select someone at home to supervise your child’s medication, such as grandparents or grandparents who are not too busy. For children who live in school, you can tell a reliable life teacher to remind your child to take his or her medication every day. 4. If your child has access to a cell phone, you can send a text message or call your child daily to remind him/her to take his/her medication. ★ Stopping medication is a big concern for parents, but it’s really “hard to say” when to stop medication. When to stop medication depends on the degree of improvement in the child’s symptoms and social adjustment. 20% or more of children can stop medication after about a year of treatment, for example, if the child’s symptoms are mild and learning and relationships are not affected, even though some ADHD symptoms are still present. The medication can also be discontinued for 1-2 weeks each year to observe the child’s degree of self-control. If the child is adapting satisfactorily in all areas and the teacher does not have a particular opinion of him/her, the medication can be discontinued under medical supervision. If symptoms are still evident in school performance during discontinuation, medication should be maintained.
