ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder. It is mainly characterized by the presence of hyperactivity and attentional problems that typically occur simultaneously. If your child has ADHD, don't panic and don't be negative about it. This condition may pose a lot of challenges and staying positive and calm about your child's condition is vital for you and your child. If you decide to send your child to a special school, make sure to inform the teachers about his condition particularly of his/her tantrum and impulse attacks. Advice his/her teachers of the things that can make him/her calm and focus on his schoolwork. The home should be a positive and encouraging environment for an ADHD child. Parents should always be there for their child and they should be the first people he/she can go to. It is important that you use positive reinforcement to your child with ADHD so as not to aggravate and cause more negative mindset. Having long, extendable patience is also important for parents and immediate family members because children with ADHD are hyper, impulsive, talkative and out-of-focus. By going head-to-head with your ADHD child during his/her tantrums, not only do you instil negativity but also you're encouraging him/her to do, say and think of bad things instead of good ones. Children with ADHD are slow learners, so it is important that learning doesn't stop once your child is already at home. The school is just a temporary place for him/her to get proper education, but the home is where the real learning starts. You are your child's first teacher, so teach him/her the proper way to behave and to focus on important things and tasks. Even if your ADHD child is a slow-learner, encourage and provide alternative means to develop his/her creativity and knowledge. Sometimes when things are already too difficult for the entire family to handle, it is important to support each other in order to overcome the challenges of being parents to an ADHD child. The child doesn't have to be blamed for his/her condition and so does the entire family. No one wants anything but a healthy and normal child, but it isn't the child's fault that he/she is inflicted with this condition. The best thing to do is to understand and have your child diagnosed early on. You should also do your part by researching and getting information about ADHD and how to deal with it the proper way. Give your ADHD child the opportunity to express himself/herself positively by introducing creative and productive activities. Avoid feeding him/her with junk food since there have been claims that these foods aggravate and cause mood problems. Feed your child with natural healthy foods that are beneficial for his health and development. If therapy and some forms of medication are required, make sure that your child gets them regularly to alleviate the condition and to promote positive effects to your child. Lastly, as parents, you need to show more compassion and support to your ADHD child. Don't lose hope on your child and just give up. Even though ADHD is difficult to cure, there is always room for improvement if positive reinforcements, love and compassion are given to your beloved son or daughter.
