Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the
most commonly diagnosed disorder in children and teens. Its symptoms include
hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. Children with ADHD often fail to
give close attention to details, have difficulty concentrating and they make
careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities. In my opinion the
children who do have ADHD should have extra care in school, they should most
likely have someone with them to help them out throughout all the troubles they
have in their work. As with all mental disorders, the exact cause of attention
deficit disorder (ADHD) is unknown, so parents should not blame themselves for
this problem. It is likely that many factors play a role in each case of ADHD,
very little of which has to do with specific parenting or child rearing skills.
Parents will most likely ask themselves “What did I do to cause this?” or “How
could I have prevented it?”, but most of the evidence points to genetic
factors, environmental facts or brain damage. In my opinion, instead on
wondering what they think they did wrong the parents should focus on how best
to help their child with ADHD. I believe that all children, teens or adults
that do have ADHD should receive as much help as possible, sometimes it could
probably be very frustrating for them because they can’t understand the work because
they weren’t able to concentrate and I believe that they should have someone
there to help them out, for example like if they get distracted they can bring
their focus back to their work that they were doing before they got distracted.

Mia, I love reading your blogs they`re always very informative. Some parents never understand how to deal with kids with mental disorders and they think that there is some way to fix it or they did something wrong. In my opinion, I think that they need to stop focusing on that and start focusing on their child and helping them.
ReplyDeleteYes Emma, i do agree they are very informative, i always learn something new with all of them. most parents always think it's their fault if their kid has some sort of disorder but they can't be the one to blame no one is perfect and i think more people need to understand that.
ReplyDeleteHey Mia, I really love your blog it’s always very cool and has lots of information I dint even know about certain diseases and disorders. I don’t really understand what people with these disorders go through, why would I don’t have it. But I feel like people should pay more attention to the people with the disorder than the mistakes they make.
