Master, Doctor Bui Phuong Thao – Department of Child Psychiatry (Mai Huong Day Psychiatric Hospital, Hanoi) – said that many parents are now confusing hyperactivity with hyperactivity, thereby preventing children go to the doctor early, causing difficulties in treatment.
A typical case is a 6-year-old boy (Hanoi) who stays at home and works non-stop, only using it when he goes to sleep. Many relatives in the baby’s family noticed that the baby had problems, so they advised the parents to take the baby to the doctor. However, the child’s parents think that the baby is just hyperactive and does not need to go to the doctor.
When the child directly goes to school, he has poor concentration in learning and can’t sit still in class. The teacher advises the parents. At this time, the parents took the baby to the doctor and the results showed that the baby had hypercoagulability and decreased attention.
Another case is an 8-year-old boy, in Hanoi, when he went to the doctor, he was determined to have hyperactivity. This boy plays a lot, can play all day until 2am. In particular, the child showed signs of behavior disorder, hitting his younger brother, being irritable, disobeying, the adults had not finished speaking and argued, his learning power was severely reduced…

Specifically, children who are hyperactive when playing with friends still know their behavior, still listen and correct mistakes when adults teach them, know how to communicate, do not interrupt others, and know how to control themselves. , no sleep disturbance…
As for the case of hyperactivity, usually people talk with inattention.

– Answer immediately when the adult has not finished asking;

– Interrupt other people’s work such as snatching the phone when parents answer the phone;
– Not patiently waiting for your turn;
– Lots of activity but little sleep…
For children with reduced attention, the symptoms are usually:

“DRAWIn children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, treatment will be difficult and must be treated until adulthood, especially in case of late detection. The treatment will depend on each specific child to give the appropriate method, usually drug treatment, combined with psychological treatment.” Doctor Thao said.
Doctor Thao noted that it is very necessary for children to return to face-to-face school after a long time of online learning. However, parents also need to pay special attention not to force their children to study too much, and at the same time should not be too distracted with their studies. Parents also need to pay attention to their children’s cognitive and behavioral manifestations to early detect abnormalities and take them to a doctor.
