The behavior of ADHD children is easily confused with playful, naughty and careless characteristics, and it is difficult for parents to judge.
This is why we have always advised parents to take their children for professional diagnosis in time:
A survey of 10 conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States evaluated the brain volumes of 152 ADHD patients (children and adults) and 139 normal controls through brain anatomical magnetic resonance imaging. Four brain development characteristics of ADHD patients are summarized:
1. The brain volume is smaller than that of the normal population.
2. Cerebral cortex development retardation
3. The volume of the frontal lobe is obviously reduced.
4. There is no obvious activation in the cognitive function area in the anterior cingulate gyrus.
Through data comparison, it can be seen that the brain retardation of ADHD children is at least two years behind the normal population, and the most serious lag is in the frontal lobe of the brain!
In the frontal lobe, he mainly involves the child's concentration, emotional stability, and his organizational planning and decision-making ability.
If he lags behind in this respect, he will lag behind his peers for 2-5 years in emotional regulation, organizational planning and daily life decision-making.
In the same task, others are nervously doing homework and completing papers, while ADHD children are in a daze, tearing paper and playing with pens. Maybe his brain doesn't work at all.
In addition to the most routine drug treatment in the hospital, what other methods can improve training?
0 1 scientific brain training
For example, the main principle of EEG biofeedback training is to record, save and display the physiological activities of the brain in an intuitive and easy-to-understand form with instruments.
At the same time, children can also get targeted exercise in areas with unbalanced brain development through training, reaching or even exceeding the level of normal peers!
Be good at asking questions and exercise children's thinking.
Dr Lawrence C. Katz, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, said that finding simple ways to use the potential dullness of the brain may help maintain nerve cells and processes (branches of cells that receive and process information).
Therefore, parents can encourage thinking and examining problems in novel ways and ask their children more questions about why. Or when children ask why, guide them to think first, instead of telling them the answer directly.
03 Planned and regular aerobic exercise
Exercise can promote the human body to release more dopamine and adrenaline to some extent, relieve tension, and is also good for brain operation.
Therefore, in addition to brain and thinking training, parents can also pay attention to physical exercise.
