EARLY DISCOVERY SAVES LIVES!..
What is ADHD?
It is Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, sir.< For example, not every child who does not study should be called 'distracted', and not every active child should be called 'hyperactive'.
First of all, it requires the acceptance that the child has impulses that cause him/her to not be able to stop himself, and that his body works with this system.
Because his brain is flying around. It is a disease in which he is given commands such as 'don't stop', 'do whatever comes to your mind', 'run', accompanied by thoughts.
Research has found that it is related to the signal weakness/disorder of two neurotransmitters in the frontal lobe of the brain.
I hear the expressions;
But he doesn't devote himself to a single lesson
He understands everything like a genius
He concentrates his attention when it comes to watching TV
Or he lingers at the desk for hours
He is smart but he does not work. Does it sound familiar?
I answer; Correct:
-Being intelligent or very intelligent is the first condition for being diagnosed with ADHD.
-He doesn't work because he can't work
-Don't put things in order. His skills are very weak.
-He acts according to his impulses, he cannot organize his work, there is no question in his mind as to which one should do first and which later.
Imagine not being able to put your work in order..
You go to the kitchen and grab some fruits from the fridge. You have a reasonable order in mind to take it and bring it back to the living room. When you open the fridge, you have a plate ready, you put the fruits in it, wash it, take the serving plates and bring them all together. This is an organizational skill.
Someone with ADHD needs at least 5 minutes for this process. He goes to the kitchen 5 times and opens the cupboard 5 times.
-People with ADHD cannot focus.
So what is focus?
We do not mean the focus feature of a photo we take.
We are talking about how he misses learning what is expected of him at that moment, sometimes even what he wants, just because he cannot organize and put things in order in his mind.
We are talking about being caught by all the distractors.
The form of attention deficit seen in adults; driving Instead of focusing on the road and traffic signs, an adult should memorize the license plates of other cars and not attract his attention. You may think that it is the state of seeing all the stimuli that sow.
These people claim to see everything because they are careful. However, he falls into the trap of only visual distractors.
For the child, all stimuli seem attractive and all distractors seem like targets. While he leaves one and examines the other, time passes and there are many unfinished activities.
He acts as if every second requires an activity. If he can't find anything, he shakes his legs and hits the table or his friend. While it is normal for all stimuli to be attractive to the child at the age of 2, if he still behaves like this at the age of 4-5, this point needs to be taken under the spotlight. You can simply call him 'monkey', but your child may be fighting with ADHD within himself.
He may speak extremely slowly or quickly, lose his belongings, forget to do his homework, make simple mistakes, seem not to listen, require patience and academic effort. He may not be able to deal with things, he may postpone them a lot, he may always leave them to the last minute.
You may say that we (father or mother) have these symptoms too, yes, you are right. ADHD has a genetic origin, and the adult form characteristics will definitely appear in you. If you complain about your short-term memory, being affected by distractors and being disconnected from the main goal, constantly running around and being late, and not being able to finish your work, your child may be at risk.
If your child; If he starts to be interested in unnecessary details,
If his movements are fast and meaningless,
If his conversations are unplanned and he seems to want to say everything at once.
If he is absent-minded, as if the files of a computer program are open in his brain and slowing down the system.
He is constantly is restless,
can't sit still,
can't do boring tasks and often leaves work unfinished,
frequently interrupts others, doesn't answer the question before it's finished,
can't wait his turn, acts without thinking,
/> If there is clumsiness in your movements
It is time to get support from a specialist for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder screening.
The symptoms must have started before the age of 7 and impulsivity cannot be controlled at a high level, it is said. Unfortunately, living with ADHD is difficult enough for your child; it is important to recognize this disease in order not to impose an additional pathology of guilt on your child.
Serious improvements are made with psychotherapy support, which is treatable and allows the child to get closer to his potential. It's time for early discovery to overcome this recordable disease... I wish you luck.
