Some parents may feel that their baby is too noisy and can't stay quiet all day long, so they worry about whether their child has ADHD. They want to take their child for a check-up but don't know what tests to do. So, what should ADHD be checked for?
What should be checked for ADHD in children
After a child with ADHD arrives at the hospital, the doctor will first check the baby's attention, then perform some routine blood, urine, liver, and kidney function tests, and then do an electroencephalogram. Through the analysis of the electroencephalogram, it can be determined whether the baby has ADHD. Of course, the choice of hospital may vary to some extent due to the different hospitals chosen, but overall they are similar.
Symptoms of ADHD in children
Babies with ADHD have difficulty concentrating and often struggle to stay focused while listening to lectures or doing homework. They tend to fidget or look around. Additionally, babies with ADHD may have some personality flaws, such as being unsociable or unable to control their emotions, which can lead to impulsive behavior.
Not all active and playful babies are ADHD. There is a difference between a baby's hyperactivity and ADHD. Babies are young and lively, and being active is their nature. Mothers should distinguish between what ADHD is and what their baby's nature is.
