PARENTS SHOULD PREACH WHAT THEY PRACTICE AND PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH

In school also, the teachers should be persuasive and yet firm. Before a child resumes school, the ADHD should be controlled else the child may be socially stigmatized.

Q. I have a child with ADHD and I am expecting another child. What are the chances that my next child will also have ADHD ?
There is no direct linkage of genetic transmission of ADHD. However, the younger child may assume the older sibling as a role model and develop overactivity. Hence, what is required is effective parenting.

Q. Does any particular diet help children with ADHD ?
No particular diet has been found useful in patients with ADHD.

Q. Can family feuds cause ADHD ?
Family disruptions or broken homes do not lead to ADHD but it may definitely aggravate or lengthen the disability.

Q. What is the prognosis of a child with ADHD ?
Prognosis of a child with ADHD depends on how alert are the parents.

If parents neglect the symptoms, the child may be considered as mentally delayed leading to social stigma. It may also lead to decreased progress in the development of the child (i.e. the progress may not be proportional to the potential) The child may become upset and hostile because of being misunderstood

If ADHD is properly dealt & treated, it usually heals/remits down, as ADHD is a self-limiting condition in most cases.
