How can I deal with my ADHD 4 years girl?

Question

I don't want to give medicine in this stage!!!

Answer 1

Speak with a psychologist/psychiatrist in your area who specializes. My daughter has also been diagnosed with ADHD and I did not want to go the drug route. We tried everything in our power to avoid this but unfortunately, were not able to find anything that worked.

The drug route is not as horrible as some of the stories suggest. They do not need to be taken every day, only on school days. You will not be creating a "zombie" if you decide that there is no other alternative.

Answer 2

ADHD does not mean that children don't pay attention. They are so busy paying attention to absolutely everything that they can't focus on any one thing. Often these children are very bright, but have difficulty learning in the traditional classroom because they cannot be still and focus. Teachers usually have difficulty dealing with these children because they disrupt the learning of the other students. These children are usually frustrated because they cannot slow down their 90 mph thoughts.....leading to acting out inappropriately. Instead of lots of seatwork, these kids need to be moving and have frequent breaks. Sometimes, this will not work in a regular classroom. When your child starts school, talk to the teachers to see how they handle such students. This might be a time when you need to put your child on medication. The right medication at the right dose can produce wonders without creating a "zombie." If you consider medication, be sure to talk to your child's teacher. Your pediatrician might even want the teacher to fill out a questionnaire to determine the type of behaviors your child exhibits in the classroom, the lunchroom, and the playground.
You will also want to pay special attention to diet. Your pediatrician can help you with this. It has even been suggested that sleep disorders can be manifested as ADHD. Talk to your doctor if your child is a snorer.
In the meantime, you will need lots of patience. Provide plenty of structure during the day, redirect inappropriate behavior, and love your child unconditionally.

Answer 3

I have a son that is also ADHD and is 13, on the weekends we really don't like to give him his adderal because he eats better off it. so to deal with him, keep conversations short and to the point, many activities that require lots of physical activity or hate to say it-bright shinning things. as for next year medicine will be your best bet, just tell the doctor you want something time released for SCHOOL only.

Answer 4

Do not, I repeat DO NOT give your child any type of drug treatment for ADHD whatsoever!

I know that I have ADD and my mother did too. She did the right things you must do with an ADD or ADHD child:

-Be patient
-Keep them busy with things that interest them
-Give your child feedback often
-And LOTS of LOVE

ADHD is not a bad thing, it just means your child tends to not pay close attention or daydreams.

NOTE: Ritalin tends make children more zombie like, depressed, and introverted.

Answer 5

Please be aware that ADHD was invented into existence in order to sell psychotropic drugs.

The "paradoxical calming effect" of certain stimulants (like Cocaine) was actually noticed in the 1920s, and it took a certain amount of lobbying to create a "condition" to take advantage of it for profit. If you gave your daughter cocaine, it would have roughly a similar effect to ritalin; for marketing reasons they prescribe ritalin instead.

There is no known objective, scientific test for ADHD. The definitions and diagnostics are nebulous.

You have to question the existence of a "disease" condition which is supposed to be so prevelant, that a significant fraction of the USA's children are being treated for it. You should also know that public schools receive kickbacks (I mean monetary bribes) to refer children for ADHD diagnosis, as "special needs" students. The teachers often receive training to identify prospective "patients". This greases the palms of both the school systems and the drug companies.

I went through something like this, when my oldest son was caught up in the hysteria. He is perfectly normal. There is nothing with him, other than being a bit introverted (which is not a "disease" or "condition"). That was many years ago, and I put a stop to the process when I saw where it was going. Got into a huge fight. My wife was in tears, constantly apologizing for the way we were raising him. I kept telling her it was all in her head and that she was letting herself be intimidated by neurotic bullies. She sees this now, but it was hard to be objective at the time. She was intimidated by vague warnings that we were ruining our son's life by not getting him "medical attention".

My son now gets straight A's, is head of his class for grades, is 3 years advanced in mathematics, and is one of the few kids in that school who can write in complete and syntactically correct sentences--there is nothing wrong with him. We never treated him for an imaginary disease. The misandric (boy-hating) teachers simply did not like him, because he didn't interact with them and other kids the way they thought he should. Their comments were rude, of a personal nature (regarding his "character flaws" (SIC!!!)), and impertinent. He is simply very quiet (and yet got tossed into the same pigeonhole as the hyperactive kids!!!!).

By the way, a lot of his classmates ARE drugged--and they can't seem to turn in their homework, are mouthy and disrespectful, and really aren't performing very well. The paradoxical calming effect of stimulants does not seem to help their academics, contrary to the hype pushed by a lot of the teachers.

First ask yourself if there is really ANYTHING wrong with your daughter. Being a little rambunctious, or shy, or mischiveous, or whatever, does not necessarily mean that anything is really WRONG.

If something is wrong, address the PROBLEM not the imaginary "disease". I have no idea how one decides that a 4 year old has an "attention problem" (don't they all?), but if she really did have one, then I suggest trying the obvious like

no television (6 second scenes)
no popular music
minimal babysitters and daycare (they run wild)
watch the diet. Minimize or remove simple carbohydrates (sugar), and make sure she gets plenty of fiber to slow down her digestion so that she doesn't get sugar highs and lows.

above all

engage her. Spend lots of time in interactive activities between yourself and her. Train your relatives to do likewise.

Answer 6

There is a book called "Does my child have ADD" i found it at the library after my daughter was diagnosed. They wanted me to drug her and I didn't like that idea. It was written in the 70's by two doctors from Kaiser. Although it is very old I tried what it said and it really WORKED and after 9 years it still works and my daughter is able to focus in school and there is no more yelling and screaming. The answer is very simple.... You HAVE to eliminate anything RED from her diet. Read ingredients anything containing RED#40 is off limits. Sounds crazy but it's true . I also had to eliminate BBQ flavor. And all candy. Once we figured out what foods she could handle life was much easier for all of us. I'm sorry i don't remember the names of the author but I'm sure your library has the book. It's worth the time to look for it. Please try. For her sake and yours, don't drug your baby... you'll only feel worse.

Answer 7

NO SODA POP! (high in sugar - higher in caffine)
WATCH LITTLE TV (TV actually encourages ADHD because it jumps around alot from topic to topic so kids stay interested and then has commericals to even confuse them worse - so avoid TV as it encourages ADHD)
LIMITED DAY CARE TIME - again this conditions kids to develope ADHD

more nature - studies have shown that kids who spend a lot of hands on time in nature are better able to focus

Answer 8

I work with children with disabilities and I must say be sure there is a need for such a diagnosis first. Also make sure it is not NOS not otherwise specified. It is hard to get support and funding otherwise. Next see a behavioural therapist to determine what are the most successful methods of getting youe child to focusto task.

Answer 9

Do some research about how to change what a child eats to help with ADHD. You should be able to control it some if not completely just by what you feed her.

Answer 10

the conventional for DX'ing ADHD/upload calls for that the youngster be a minimum of seven years previous. Who ought to DX a three twelve months previous?! you want a 2d opinion. also, who prescribed the foodstuff routine that you're following? the proper intentions may reason large issues in case you do not understand precisely the way it ought to correctly be executed. even as it includes youthful ones, mom and father might want to under no circumstances self-prescribe any majors alterations, consisting of foodstuff routine.
