Usually most children are prone to ADHD, and some new mothers will be very anxious when they encounter this phenomenon in their children. So we need to understand whether children with ADHD need treatment? What should we do if children have ADHD?

Children with ADHD need treatment, and psychotherapy can be used. Psychotherapy is mainly used to help children regain their self-confidence, and mainly includes behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Improve their interpersonal communication and how to deal with impulses. Through the principle of operant conditioning, timely reinforce the positive and negative aspects of the child's behavior, so that the child can master appropriate social skills, replace inappropriate behavior patterns, and thus achieve new effective behaviors. Commonly used psychotherapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dynamic psychotherapy, family therapy, etc. Cognitive behavioral therapy is mainly used to target children's impulsive behavior problems, so that children can learn how to solve problems, recognize whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose appropriate behavior. In addition, parents and teachers need to give children more understanding and positive guidance.

1. Parents should treat their baby's ADHD behavior correctly, not discriminate, beat or scold, and not be too accommodating, otherwise it will make them more willful and disobedient. In addition, they should also gradually correct their baby's behavior, encourage their baby to sit quietly, concentrate or do things quietly, and use more verbal praise or encouragement.

2. Babies with ADHD are generally full of energy, so you can let your baby participate in more colorful cultural, sports and social activities to consume their excess energy.

3. Cultivate a good habit of keeping a regular schedule for your baby, and do not indulge in interests that may have a negative impact on your baby, such as watching TV for a long time. Parents should also ease the atmosphere at home to prevent family factors from causing negative stimulation to the baby.

4. When ADHD seriously affects the baby's life and study, medication should be taken for treatment under the doctor's advice.

ADHD is generally caused by zinc deficiency, which can lead to anorexia, short stature, frequent colds, fever, mental retardation, slow reaction, lack of concentration, lack of active eating, white spots on nails, long finger barbs, etc. Zinc supplements include pork, chicken, animal liver, yellow croaker, dried fish, apples, bananas, corn flour, millet, eggplant, soybeans, radishes, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, etc. Check trace elements and supplement according to the test results. Children are often lively and active, but if they are like this for a long time, they will lack zinc. Children who lack zinc are usually irritable, irritable, and inattentive. This is due to dopamine receptor dysfunction, so the baby is irritable and shows a fighting state; in addition, organic damage to brain tissue and organs may also cause it. If the baby's prefrontal lobe and caudal lobe are dysfunctional, the baby will be hyperactive. Therefore, it is recommended that parents should pay more attention to their children's usual behavior and correctly distinguish between being active and naughty. If you find that your child is hyperactive, you should take your child to the hospital in time.

Many trace elements of the human body are excreted through sweat, and zinc is one of them. Zinc is one of the trace elements necessary for children, and is closely related to the baby's growth and development, immune function, vision, and sexual development. Children need a lot of zinc during their growth and development, and sweating a lot will cause zinc loss. Therefore, hyperactive children generally sweat a lot, so they are prone to zinc deficiency, which can be supplemented through food. Zinc is mainly found in seafood, animal offal, etc. If zinc is very low, it can also be treated with oral zinc supplements. If it is a child with ADHD, its occurrence is not directly related to the lack of trace elements, and the current cause is unknown. Therefore, if a child has ADHD, he should go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
