Many parents claim that their child hyperactive. But whether always it so. Sometimes this just general opinion which means that the child could be quieter and assidious.
It is worth agreeing that if the child constantly sits, that is behaves inactively, then it too not absolutely normally and is not absolutely correct to consider it for norm. But you should not confuse two different concepts as mobility of the child it is absolutely normal, and the hyperactivity is already the diagnosis. In medicine it is accepted to call it "a deficiency syndrome of attention with hyperactivity" of ADHD.
It is valid a disease as there is a violation of some functions in the central nervous system. It can be divided conditionally into two concepts, namely on primary and secondary. Primary - arises from the moment of the birth of the kid. Secondary in turn, caused by complications after a disease. In the presence of this syndrome the child cannot concentrate the attention on something, and besides to it several minutes on one place are rather heavy even to remain sitting.
The syndrome can have various form, so, the deficiency of attention without hyperactivity and hyperactivity without deficiency of attention is known to practice. But most often the set of these concepts meets.
It is rather heavy to hyperactive child to finish the begun business. He always throws it not finished, and at once switches the attention to another. Especially great difficulties about it arise in the course of training of the child. Statistically about 5% of children give in to a deficiency problem of attention. Of this quantity the most part is made by boys. Besides the hyperactivity at them has the pronounced form.
At children of small age treat the main signs of hyperactivity:
- bad dream;
- high degree of irritability to external factors;
- presence of chaotic movements.
In certain cases because of presence of hyperactivity the child not fully develops. Means that he begins to sit down and go in comparison with children without deficiency much later. The kid cannot correctly coordinate the movements and therefore he often drops objects and badly speaks.
Parents of children at whom ADHD is observed should have patience and always to remember that it first of all a disease. And it means that it is necessary to understand the child and you should not abuse him.
