Some of the mental and behavioral problems that children with ADHD are prone to:
- Low cognitive ability
Children with ADHD generally have no problems in intelligence, but their visual-motor coordination ability is worse than that of ordinary children, and their memory, organizational processing ability, and problem-solving ability all show obvious difficulties.
- Decreased grades
The academic performance of ADHD children is generally affected to varying degrees, which is manifested as a decline in academic performance, but the degree of decline in academic performance varies. In addition, the timing of the decline in academic performance is also inconsistent. Some begin to appear after enrollment, most appear after the third grade, and a few appear only in junior high school.
Behavioral problems in children with ADHD
- Poor interpersonal relationships
Four interpersonal problems in children with ADHD: inappropriate classroom behavior; cognitive and communication deficits; aggressive or inappropriate social behavior; and lack of appropriate social behavior. The reason for these problems is that they are often self-centered in their interactions with their friends, giving orders to others and interfering with other people’s games; they often lack social skills, can’t cooperate with their friends, don’t follow the rules when playing games, and can’t take turns in turn Waiting; they cannot perceive the feelings of others, and they often use verbal and physical aggression to resolve conflicts with their classmates.
- Easy to lose your temper
Emotional problems are also common in ADHD, such as restlessness, impulsiveness, and unhappiness. When encountering unpleasant things, you cannot relieve your unhappiness through self-regulation, but always lose your temper, and even confront adults and attack others. Because their behavior can not meet the requirements of adults, and the external environment may give them too much pressure and criticism, conflicts between their own state and the environment, resulting in emotional problems.
- Strong rebellious heart
Some ADHD children disobeyed their parents’ orders at home, deliberately opposed their parents, did not listen to teachers at school, violated school discipline, fought, truanted, truanted, and went out without returning. This is related to their own psychological quality factors and external environmental factors, because they have poor control ability, low response function to inhibitory information of the environment, difficult to accept restraint and control, easy to violate social norms, and the environment often makes them more than normal children. There are many negative reactions, and this has an even worse effect on the development of conduct problems in children with ADHD.
