By the psychological counsellor Siham Salih. Behavioural problems in ADHD usually appear before the age of seven. Many schools have children who suffer from this problem, but the greater problem is that few teachers have sufficient information about it or about how to deal with the child. Children who suffer from excessive physical activity are not naughty or ill-mannered children; rather they are children with a medical problem that has a bad effect on the child's psychological development and on the development of his intelligence and his social relationships. The parents of these children face many difficulties, for in addition to the great effort they make in dealing with this child, they are accused by everyone of being unable to bring him up properly, and this in itself is an additional psychological pressure, resulting in harshness towards the child but to no benefit. The symptoms: many children go through a period of their lives when they are naughty, their level of movement is somewhat excessive or their level of attention is somewhat weak. But what we are speaking about here is an abnormal degree of excessive physical activity and poor concentration present in more than one place, for example at home and at school, and not only in one setting, and this point is considered very important in diagnosis, since it allows it to be distinguished from other psychological conditions. The main symptoms: \u2022 Inattention: these children are characterised by a very short attention span; they cannot carry on to finish a particular activity or game; they seem as though they do not hear you when you speak to them; they usually lose their belongings or forget where they put their pens or books. \u2022 Excessive movement: they cannot stay in their place or their seats for even a short period; they usually climb and run everywhere, at home, in the market and so on; they are described as never calming down. \u2022 Impulsiveness: they answer questions before they have finished hearing the question; they cannot wait their turn in any activity; they interrupt when others are speaking. The causes: \u2022 The main cause is unknown. Heredity is a very important factor, as recent research on twins has shown that the hereditary proportion reaches 80%, which is considered a very high proportion. \u2022 This means that any injury to the nervous system before or during birth has an effect: lack of oxygen, premature births, brain injuries due to infections or toxins, the mother taking certain medicines during pregnancy, and also exposure to a high proportion of lead, and a disorder in the brain's chemical functions. \u2022 Social factors also have an effect, for example children who are emotionally deprived or under the influence of psychological problems. Diagnosis: this takes place through an examination of the child by a psychiatrist, since the symptoms of this condition overlap, as we mentioned, with the symptoms of other psychological conditions such as anxiety, autism and some other behavioural conditions. It is also necessary for the child's parents and teachers to fill in certain questionnaires and behavioural measures, which are considered an important baseline for each child in order to know the level of his behavioural measure and the extent of his progress in treatment. There is also field observation at school and watching the child in the classroom and in the school yard. Teachers and supervisors of pupils are the ones who refer pupils to the psychological counselling clinics for children, after carrying out the child's individual plan known as the IEP. Treatment: 1. Educational assistance: some children suffer from learning difficulties as we mentioned (and this has no connection with the level of intelligence), and they benefit from some weekly sessions devoted to learning difficulties. 2. Behavioural treatment: this is very important, where a special programme is drawn up for the child and carried out at home in cooperation with the parents and at school in cooperation with the teacher. It relies on a system of reinforcement for good conduct and is very effective if carried out correctly. 3. Medicines: there are some effective medicines, and we mention by way of example only the stimulants, which, in addition to reducing excessive movement, raise mental performance and increase the power of concentration. There are some side effects which we always want parents to be aware of, such as insomnia, loss of appetite and irritability, and symptoms that do not occur regularly, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, reddening of the skin, weight loss and changes in blood pressure. What is the school's role? The school has a strong and effective influence in helping the child, and as we mentioned the teacher may be the first to refer the child to the clinic after the parents' agreement in some countries. The teacher's awareness of this subject is very important, since their reaction and their way of dealing with the child differ once they know the cause of this behaviour. Dear teacher, no one denies the tremendous effort you make, for your work is hard and drains all your energies. But your skill, your creativity and what sets you apart from others lie here, in changing the course of this child who faces various difficulties, for you are considered the foundation of the treatment plan. Very often, thanks to the teacher's cooperation and understanding of the behavioural treatment plan, we can do without treatment by medicines.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
