Signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

A baby with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will find it difficult to complete a task, even the simplest of tasks. Of course we know that toddlers' attention span is very poor, however, babies with hyperactivity will look for another activity even if they haven't started the current activity yet. Your baby will not have the patience to sit and listen even to a short story or stirring a cup of milk.

Another sign is that babies with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will be quite poor at following someone's instructions or processing information for their age.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity without early intervention will affect a child's learning

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity often talk non-stop and their sole purpose is to want to talk, that's all. We all know that kids love to ask questions, they can keep asking questions, especially the question "Why?". However, these questions are posed by curiosity or because they want to be noticed by adults, while hyperactivated babies focus only on talking and talking, on whatever topic they come up with. Therefore, these babies can repeat the same thing without any purpose.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity also causes babies to move non-stop like jumping from bed or stairs to the ground, spinning around, often seeming restless, worried, ... in general, they cannot sit still. This is a typical sign of attention deficit hyperactivity. While other children can also play around and run around, they also love going around like going out to visit their grandparents, going to the park and they can sit still for a reward. Whereas, no matter where and in any situation, hyperactive children with decreased attention often just like to move around and not care about other issues.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity should be monitored for a long time

Most cases of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) usually after 7 years of age. The signs of this syndrome need to be monitored for a long time to recognize what are the persistent problems affecting the child's performance to determine if the child has attention deficit hyperactivity or not. . There are many children who are very playful when they are young but get worse when they reach school age. That shows that not all children who are fidgety, running and jumping also suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity.

However, a baby's lack of attention span can affect a baby's life, hindering her from acquiring necessary knowledge and skills. Therefore, if you suspect that your child has ADHD, do not wait until the child is 7 years old but should take him to the doctor as possible to minimize the negative impact of this condition on the child.
