There are many different types of attention deficit disorder treatment that can be used for children. Medication can also be used; but it shouldn’t be the only treatment for your child. If your child is easily distracted, impulsive, or hyperactive, it can take a great deal of effort to get him or her to sit still, listen, or finish a job. Finding a method that is effective for your child can be challenging, because most kids have trouble following rules and routines.
One type of attention deficit disorder treatment that you may wish to consider is therapy geared toward reducing hyperactivity and impulsivity in children with ADHD. Children who exhibit these symptoms often have problems with attention and impulse control. This often leads to acting in ways that are impulsive and erratic. This type of behavior often results in accidents or other types of accidents that can be embarrassing and difficult to explain to a parent. A trained professional can help a child learn methods for controlling his or her impulses and improve their concentration, which can make a big difference for the child in many areas including school and social activities.
Another type of treatment for this disorder that is often recommended by doctors is to teach a child to sit still and focus. Children with this disorder are easily distracted, and are always on the go. They need to learn how to sit still in order to stay focused and calm. Using a variety of teaching techniques, such as reinforcement with stickers and prizes, can help the child sit still without losing focus and feeling overwhelmed.
Children with ADHD usually suffer from some combination of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. Typically they will have a hard time attending to even the most basic details and may appear as if they are constantly on the go. Some of these symptoms include: jumping out of their seats, fidgeting with their hands, clapping their hands, playing with their own hair, daydreaming, and talking incessantly. When you observe these symptoms, you probably thought that they were simply normal characteristics of youth. Unfortunately, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention can make everyday tasks like driving a car and sitting at a desk a major challenge.
These three symptoms can combine to create a challenging situation for an ADHD child. Impulsivity is a combination of both inattention and hyperactivity and often accompanies hyperactivity. Inattention can be seen as the beginning stage of ADHD, because it can include distractibility and difficulty paying attention. Hyperactivity often appears without inattention symptoms. Experts often recommend a combination of inattention and hyperactivity treatments to improve symptoms quickly.
The good news is that there are medications that can help manage the symptoms of ADHD. Commonly prescribed drugs include Ritalin, Adderall, and Concerta. ADHD impulsive behavior can also be treated with Strattera for ADHD-PI along with behavioral therapy. In order for impulsive behavior to be effectively managed, ADHD children may need to be medicated in addition to or instead of using psychostimulants. ADHD impulsive behavior can have serious social and academic consequences, so treatment is very important.
What should you do when your ADHD child acts as if he or she cannot sit still? Parents of ADHD children have two main choices: helping their child to learn to sit still or helping them practice relaxation techniques and deep breathing. ADHD children who learn to sit still are often more compliant and can focus better. Children with hyperactive symptoms often cannot sit still, and may seem to jump out of their chairs and clap their hands all of the time. Some children with hyperactive symptoms will clap their hands and move around a bit but still not sit still. They may even be destructive and even impatient.
The good news is that you don’t have to live with hyperactive or distracted behaviors. You can teach your ADHD child to sit still and pay attention. A great way to start teaching your hyperactive child how to sit still is by taking an obedient puppy or kitten to the park and petting them while teaching him or her to sit. Many children with ADHD are distracted by their own hyperactivity, so petting them will help them focus.
