Early symptoms of ADHD in children

There are many symptoms of ADHD in children. For example, children generally have poor self-control, their physical activities are much more than other children of the same age, they are emotionally unstable, have weak willpower, often lose their temper over trivial matters, have strong impulses in their behavior, are very immature in their emotions, appear childish in many aspects, have very poor self-control, and sometimes have a bad temper.

1. Emotional instability and weak will:

Children with ADHD often lose their temper over trivial matters, have unstable emotions, impulsive behaviors, and poor self-control. They are not good at independently and consciously proposing goals and motivations for action, have no clear ideals and pursuits, and lack the perseverance and endurance to overcome difficulties. They often quarrel and fight with other children. They make a big fuss when something goes wrong. They burst into tears when criticized and burst into laughter when comforted. They are not good at managing their time, cannot finish their homework, and are "forced" to go to school by their parents, etc. These are all prominent manifestations of children with ADHD.

2. Emotional immaturity and lack of effectiveness:

The emotions of children with ADHD are very childish in many aspects, and they have poor self-control. They express their emotions like toddlers, crying and laughing at times. They do not like to do homework but like to play with friends younger than themselves. They are indifferent to test scores, and are not shy after being criticized. They do not correct their mistakes and shortcomings, and have poor academic performance. Beating and scolding are of no help and may even be counterproductive. Such children need to be helped more patiently, cared for, and their emotional efficacy should be improved as much as possible, which also plays a big role in the emotional maturity of children.

3. Irritability

A serious defect of children with ADHD is that they cannot control their emotions. In addition, some parents have a bad temper and use inappropriate methods of educating their children, which causes children to develop a rebellious mentality and confrontational emotions and become easily irritated. When there is no parental supervision, they do not study but just play or watch TV. They get angry when parents intervene. If the children are beaten or scolded, they are likely to have strong emotional outbursts, lose their rationality, destroy things, hurt others or hurt themselves. Of course, over-pampering a child and giving in to him/her in everything can also cause him/her to lose his/her temper at the slightest dissatisfaction. For example, if he/she is watching TV and the parents turn off the TV and ask him/her to do homework, he/she will make a big fuss and will not do his/her homework well.
