ADHD Behavioral Therapy
Children and adolescents needing ADHD Behavioral Therapy share common symptoms and rebellions. Signs of these disorders are commonly recognized at a young age and can be carried to adulthood. Although ADD and ADHD are different when diagnosed, they are uniform in their symptoms. To establish the correct diagnosis, a childs actions must be recognized as inappropriate for their age group.
Most Common Symptoms in Children and Teens:
Addiction of distraction - The most common symptom of ADD or ADHD issues lay on the premise of distraction. It is common for kids to become distracted. But too much distraction will cause them to lose focus, forget previous tasks, and become distracted repetitively.
Does not follow direction or finish tasks - It is critical to be mindful of children who do not do as they are asked. There are two personality types that will defer whether or not your child has ADD or ADHD. Commonly, children will become upset when they are scolded for not accomplishing set tasks. Children with potential ADHD will brush it off and continue the task, but quickly perform another in front of you.
Does not listen when others are speaking - Again, what child does not valiently listen to their peers? However, with potential ADD or ADHD children, they are unaware of others talking. They will act silly or change the subject. Most will continue to talk even if you're talking directly to them.
Often loses things - Children are often forgetful but they rarely forget where their favorite toys and treasures are; even the buried ones. Do not get worried if your child loses more than the average youth. It should become a concern, only, if their forgetfullness clashes with daily/weekly activities that they look forward to. E.g. Dance class, piano lessons, scouting activities, or play-dates.
Unable to organize daily routines - Most children and teens dislike brushing their teeth or making their bed. However, you must be able to recognize the difference between laziness and potential ADD or ADHD issues. The innability to organize daily tasks may include forgetting to eat or sleeping at innapropriate times during the day. When your child forgets their favorite routines, then you may want to consult a physician.
Innattentive and Hyperactive - The beautiful thing about children is their energetic love for life. However, you may begin to notice that your child never stops. They may constantly be on the go or bounce from one distraction to another quickly. They may also hav difficulty playing quietly and talks exsessively.
Impulse Behavior - Common signs of ADD or ADHD issues will showcase through the innability to wait his/her turn. E.g. They may blurt out answers before the question is finished. In other words, they frequently interrupt others without acklowledging their poor behavior.
