Sometimes young parents often feel extremely frustrated with a series of symptoms such as their children's frequent lack of concentration, inability to stop their hands and feet, and so on, but they have no choice because their children simply refuse to listen and try to improve. In fact, this situation may be due to ADHD. So, what if a child has ADHD at the age of 12?
What should I do if I have ADHD at the age of 12
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder in children, and drug treatments include central nervous system stimulants, antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Methods such as behavioral therapy, learning guidance, family therapy, and medical cooperation. Most treatment methods require professional personnel to complete.
If a child develops ADHD at the age of 12, it is recommended to receive relevant treatment through a combination of physical and psychological factors, as this approach will be relatively more effective.
Can ADHD be inherited
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be inherited. Some children's ADHD is related to genetics, while others are not. Different children are different. There are two views on the prognosis of ADHD in earlier studies: one believes that ADHD is a self limiting disorder and symptoms will naturally disappear in adulthood. Another view is that ADHD has a poor prognosis, with personality disorders, antisocial behavior, impulsivity, and poor interpersonal relationships still present in adolescents and adults. As parents, we should give our children more care and guidance.
Generally, a twelve year old child already has some autonomy and rebellious consciousness at this time. If parents teach their child about ADHD or other issues, it is recommended to have good communication with your child instead of blindly giving commands or scolding. This way, the child often does not accept it and may even have a counterproductive effect.
