Suggestions for dealing with children with ADHD

  Patient: My son is 8 years old and has trouble concentrating in class, is hyperactive, and has trouble sitting still. Poor cognitive ability. His academic performance is not good. He can’t even do simple counting in math. The doctor thinks it is a brain nerve center damage that causes hyperactivity and poor comprehension and language skills. Acupuncture for most of the year, but no effect. I want to find a better acupuncturist Patient: I am grateful for your reply. All members of my family are healthy. The pregnancy process also went well. My son was born with medication to induce labor without a paroxysm because the doctor misdiagnosed me with an aging placenta. The baby was delivered smoothly, but was born purple all over. My son has been very active since he was a child and could not stop, except for falling asleep. He couldn’t play with children, hit people and grab things, and couldn’t listen to anything he was taught. When he reached the first grade, he found out that he couldn’t even do simple counting and formulas in math, and the language was a 50-point level, a little better than math. Music, art and sports are very much like. Once the language and math class is annoying, climbing the window, sitting on the table. The teacher hates him. Is it possible for my son to be cured?  Qingdao Hai Ci Hospital Acupuncture and Tuina Center Qu Henian: As a father with children, I understand your feelings.  The past is the past, do not complain too much, now and in the future, the most important mindset. Now that you find out how different he is from his peers, grab some things from now that are good for recovery. This will also be a long process of hard work, and it will take wholehearted love to accomplish, and the saying to remember is: you get what you pay for.  This kind of neuro-medical dysfunction in children has one advantage over adults, that is, it is in the process of growth and development, we can only try to tap its potential for recovery and help his nervous system to strive for a more balanced.  My suggestions are: 1. The family should discuss and not be too angry, accusatory, resentful and other negative emotions towards him, because he is acting in a pathological state, understand him and take care of him. Treat him with warmth and a hundred questions, what his eyes have seen and felt, although not necessarily now can give a response, but will be stored in its memory and subconsciously is the example of his behavior. In other words, what you want him to do in the future, you will treat him how.  2, more physical, skin-to-skin communication with him, lovingly soothing, patting his shoulders, gently touching his little head, which is also a stimulation of his brain’s ability to feel, but also help to calm his inner irritability and confusion. If you can give him daily chiropractic, abdominal massage, rubbing the palms of the hands and feet, not only for emotional stability, but also to adjust the role of physiology, such as improving diet and sleep. It would be better if you could learn some Chinese medicine and help him rub the acupuncture points (such as Baihui, Tanzhong, Foot Sanli, Sanyinjiao, etc.) with a purpose. Very important!  3, put some background music at home, to soothing, beautiful, light music, according to his response, choose his more like, have a benign response to the music, as background music. Meals, sleep and other times can be played to link these acoustic stimuli with their basic life activities, together with the interaction and coordination between the multifunctional areas of his nervous system.  4, at home or other places of frequent activity, post and hang his favorite art works.  It is important to persevere and mobilize the benign adjustment of his nervous system in multiple directions, so that the work will come naturally.  I wish you a speedy recovery!
