Among the representatives of the older generation, there is an opinion that the hyperactivity of a child is a consequence of errors in parenting. Often from grandmothers you can hear all the explanatory phrase that the child "completely lost his hands." But in fact, everything is much more serious and such behavior of children, neurologists are increasingly diagnosed as diseases of the nervous system. After a visit, it is to such a specialist that a diagnosis with an incomprehensible abbreviation - ADHD - may appear in a child’s card.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, so the mysterious diagnosis is deciphered. It’s hard for a child with ADHD to focus on a specific activity, game, or subject. Even understanding and trying to complete the task, the baby is easily distracted. In addition, the child’s emotions are not controlled, he is impulsive and has a continuous need for active movement. These diseases of the nervous system lead parents into complete confusion from the futile attempts to “correct the child” and guide him on the right path.
It is believed that the causes of a nervous system disorder associated with attention deficit are directly related to MMD (minimal cerebral dysfunction). This happens if the areas of the brain that are responsible for self-monitoring and attention do not work well enough. A neurologist is involved in the treatment of this problem, so if you suspect ADHD, you should contact this specialist. In such a situation, medical intervention is necessary, and treatment of diseases of the nervous system must necessarily take place under the vigilant eye of professionals.
Without a doubt, the doctor will prescribe a course of necessary preparations and vitamins, but you can’t stop there, the full adaptation of a hyperactive baby can take place only with the active participation of parents, especially mothers. The diagnosis is an occasion to pay as much attention as possible to the development of the crumb, in addition, the doctor will probably offer a set of exercises that will help the child learn to control his impulses and concentrate attention, and how to master them without the help of adults.
If the diagnosis diseases of the nervous system with the name ADHD confirmed, you need to be patient. The child should not feel stubborn or naughty - do not instill in the baby future complexes. On the contrary, the baby must feel all parental love, see their attention, care and tenderness. Frequent contact with mom will also be beneficial, hugs and kisses of a dear person can possess healing power. And, of course, you need to keep calm: the anxiety and imbalance of adults will certainly serve as an additional irritant, which may well contribute to the exacerbation of the problem.
For a baby with hyperactivity, it is very important to create a clear procedure, in other words, the regimen of the day should be strictly observed. Each event has its own, well-defined time. Walk, sleep, games, food, only according to the schedule every day at the same time. You need to avoid extraneous noise, this applies to both the TV, computer, loud music, and too noisy guests and meetings. The soundtrack for going to bed or children's fun can serve as a calm, relaxing music (classical or children's songs). Various sounds for relaxation are also very calming (the murmur of water, the sound of the surf, the singing of forest birds).
ADHD is a disease of the nervous system that some experts suggest may well go away with age. But, it is up to the parents to decide whether to rely on luck when it comes to health, and without exaggeration, we can say about the safety of a small and dear person.
Be sure to adjust the behavior of the baby and believe in a good outcome.
