How to educate a hyperactive child?
Hyperactivity in children: symptoms
Hyperactivity in children can manifest itself withinfancy. Such babies are very sensitive to external stimuli. These can be sounds, light, mother's behavior. Usually in such situations they react with loud discontent, refuse to sleep or do it with great difficulty. Another symptom and signal for parents is a delay in motor development: all the key stages - holding the head, rolling over, standing, crawling, walking - children with hyperactivity begin to do 1-2 months later. At the same time, in the first years of life, children with such a diagnosis show excessive and chaotic mobility and even clumsiness. At 2-3 years old, hyperactive children are fussy, restless, emotionally unstable - now a smile, now tears, and this can happen several times in a short period of time. A clear sign is a delay in speech development, sleep problems. Later, after 4 years, it becomes clear that it is extremely difficult for such a child to adapt to the rules and norms of behavior. He cannot maintain a stable interest in the lesson, gets distracted by something else and also does not finish what he started. In a conversation, a hyperactive child does not know how to listen and interrupts the interlocutor. He is impulsive and even aggressive in a group, which causes difficulties with socialization. Such a child is louder than others, tries to switch attention to himself, does not accept prohibitions, will learn to write, read and count later. With all this, he can be sensitive, kind, receptive even to small praise and intellectually developed. In senior groups of kindergarten or school, there are problems when a child cannot control his attention for a long time and sit in one place, and 40 minutes of classes become a real test for him. The teacher, trying to call such a student to discipline, focuses on his shortcomings in front of the class, exacerbating and aggravating the situation each time. Moreover, such children do not accept comparisons with peers who are calmer, more assiduous than they are.
Causes and Diagnosis
Under the phrase we often encounter"hyperactivity" hides the disease "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" - ADHD. The causes of hyperactivity in children can be complications of the ongoing pregnancy (toxicosis, hypoxia - lack of oxygen to the fetus, high blood pressure), lifestyle disorders of the expectant mother (bad habits, hard work, stress), difficult labor (protracted or, conversely, rapid), genetic predisposition. The sooner parents pay attention to the symptoms, the sooner the treatment and adaptation of the child to society will begin. Diagnosis of the disease takes place in several stages. To begin with, the doctor makes a complete picture, asking about the course of pregnancy, diseases of the baby and his parents, makes a description of him based on the answers of the mother and father. Next, children of 5 years of age undergo psychological tests. And the very last stage is the study of encephalography and magnetic resonance imaging.
