Causes of children becoming phobic or traumatized when defecating (BAB)<\/a><\/h3>
Difficult defecation in children frequently has a psychological impact that causes trauma, causing children to become increasingly unwilling to defecate. A child's reluctance to defecate for longer will make the stool harder, thus making bowel movements more difficult. Links like this will continue to rotate and eventually cause conditions that are far more dangerous. \n\n It is critical that we understand why children experience constipation, which causes trauma. The following is an explanation of constipation associated with childhood trauma. \n\n The word constipation or constipation comes from the Latin constipare, which means to cluster together. In layman's terms, constipation is frequently referred to as Constipation. Constipation is defined as difficulty excreting stools completely, as evidenced by a decrease in defecation frequency, stools that are harder, larger, and more painful than usual, and palpating the abdomen for fecal masses.  \n\n The causes of constipation in children vary, ranging from a lack of intake of fluids and fibrous foods so that the stool becomes harder, often holding bowel movements due to toilet phobia, to a history of previous trauma. In conditions of toilet phobia or trauma, parents must quickly recognize the cause of their child's phobia or trauma. In some cases, children may become phobic due to dirty, smelly toilets and lots of animals, such as cockroaches. This causes the child to tend to resist the urge to defecate. The longer it is held, the harder the stool that is buried in the intestine becomes because water continues to be absorbed by the intestine, causing the child to experience stomach aches as it becomes more difficult to have a bowel movement. This difficulty defecating causes trauma to the child because every time he has a bowel movement, the child has to endure pain both in the stomach and in the anus. \n\n Constipation (Constipation) Symptoms in Children  \n\n The child has not had a bowel movement for several days. Every mule, the child will hold back so as not to defect. Sometimes the child will cross his legs to hold back a bowel movement, and the child will go off on his own. If this happens, it should be suspected of being related to constipation. Sometimes on a child's pants there are yellow spots because of liquid feces that comes out that the child cannot hold, but parents think it is diarrhea when it is not. \n\n Treatment of constipation (constipation) in children \n\n \n The first thing that needs to be done is to evacuate the stool that has accumulated in the large intestine. This treatment can be done by administering suppositories or through climatic measures, depending on the severity of the constipation. For mild symptoms of constipation, children can be given drugs to facilitate bowel movements, which are inserted through the anus (suppositories). If the symptoms are severe and there is an excessive amount of stool, a climatic action can be taken by inserting glycerin into the child's anus in order to stimulate feces to come out.  \n The second stage is to find the cause of the constipation so that the main source of the problem can be identified. Identification of the source of this problem is very important to determine the next management plan for the patient. \n \n\n Tips for parents to do: \n\n \n Parents should always provide adequate fluid intake for children. \n diet with the provision of vegetables and fruits that are high in fiber, such as papaya. \n Toilet training for children who are still used to defecating in diapers should be done patiently, and you should try to keep the toilet clean so that children are not afraid to defecate in the bathroom. Toilet training will develop the gastrocolic reflex and then evoke the defecation reflex. Toilet training methods differ depending on the needs of each child. As an initial introduction, children are simply asked to sit on the toilet for 3–5 minutes, accompanied by their parents. Then, every time the child feels the urge to defecate, invite the child to defecate in the bathroom so that the child becomes used to it. The most important thing is not to force the child to immediately defecate in the toilet because it will have a stressful effect on the child. If the child is able to successfully defecate in the toilet, give him a prize for his achievement. \n Consult with a pediatrician. \n \n\n If your little one is not healthy, immediately consult a pediatric specialist at Hermina Pasteur Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recognize Weak Heart Disease (Dilated Cardiomyopathy)<\/a><\/h3>
What is weak heart disease? \nWeak heart or dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition that occurs when the heart muscle becomes thinner, looser and weaker so that it is unable to pump blood around the body properly. Our heart muscle is responsible for pumping blood to meet the needs of oxygen and nutrients for all of our organs. When the pumping power of the heart is weakened, the supply of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body will automatically decrease. If not treated immediately, heart failure will cause heart failure and even death \n\n What causes weak heart disease? \nWeak heart disease often has no known cause. However, there are several factors that can cause a person to be more at risk of having a weak heart, including: \n\n \n Advanced age (over 65 years) \n Family history or parents who suffer from weak heart \n Side effects of drugs (eg drugs used for chemotherapy in malignancy / cancer) \n Smoking habits and consumption of alcoholic beverages \n Certain diseases, such as coronary heart disease and heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart rhythm disorders, thyroid, heart valve disease and certain viral infections such as Covid-19 \n  Complications in pregnant women and childbirth (occurring mainly in the 1st month before birth up to 5 months after delivery) \n \n\n What are the characteristics or symptoms of weak heart disease? \nIn the early stages, the characteristics of a weak heart are usually not clearly visible or even asymptomatic. When it enters a more advanced or severe stage, the characteristics of a new heart failure are seen and can be felt. The following are its characteristics: \n\n \n  Swelling of the legs, ankles, abdomen, and veins in the neck \n  Easily tired and tired when doing activities \n Frequent coughing and sudden shortness of breath when lying on your back \n  The heart rate is very fast and pounding \n Chest feels heavy or tight \n Shortness of breath \n \n\n Frequent fainting, especially after physical activity \n\n How do you make sure someone has a weak heart disease? \n\n To determine whether the symptoms you are experiencing are signs of a weak heart, you need to see a doctor. In diagnosing heart weakness, the doctor will carry out a physical examination and supporting examinations, such as: \n\n \n     Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of heart rhythm. In some cases, heart failure is caused by an irregular heart rhythm \n     Echocardiography: Ultrasound of the heart, to assess the structure of the heart and the pumping strength of the heart muscle \n     Relevant blood tests \n     Chest X-ray photo \n     Cardiac angiography: examination to see blockages in the heart arteries \n     Heart muscle biopsy \n \n\n   \n\n After the diagnosis of weak heart is confirmed, the treatment of weak heart will be adjusted to the severity of symptoms, the course of the disease, and the patient's co-morbidities. Handling weak heart can be done using drugs or through heart surgery in certain cases. Weak heart patients are advised to limit strenuous physical activity, reduce water and salt consumption and take medication regularly. \n\n   \n\n What are the steps to prevent heart failure? \n\n Weak heart generally cannot be prevented, especially if the cause is genetic or hereditary factors. However, the risk of developing this disease can be reduced by adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as: \n\n \n     Do not consume alcoholic beverages and drugs \n     Check blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels regularly \n     Sufficient sleep time \n     Control stress \n     Do regular exercise \n     Eat healthy and nutritionally balanced food, reduce salt consumption \n \n\n   \n\n If you experience the characteristics of a weak heart or are at risk of developing a weak heart, don't hesitate to consult a doctor so that examination and treatment can be done properly and quickly. Healthy Greetings \n\n   \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

protein prevents stunting<\/a><\/h3>
Hi Hermina Friends. Accelerating the reduction of stunting, the problem of failure to thrive in children due to chronic malnutrition, has been the focus of the Indonesian government in recent years.\n\n\nThe main cause of stunting is malnutrition, especially animal protein, even when the child is still in the womb. The impact is that children have short stature and below average levels of intelligence. They are also more prone to suffer from chronic diseases in adulthood. Various studies show that the main cause of stunting is chronic malnutrition, even from the time the child is in the womb. \n\n Stunting prevention should start before marriage, namely by consuming animal protein to prevent anemia.\n\nAdolescent girls who suffer from anemia are at risk of becoming anemic women of childbearing age, then becoming anemic pregnant and lactating women.\n\nAnemia in young women is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Referring to the 2018 Riskesdas data, around 65 percent of adolescents do not have breakfast, 97 percent consume less vegetables and fruit, lack physical activity and consume excessive sugar, salt and fat (GGL).\n\nNutrition for the first 1000 days\nPreventing stunting or failure to thrive must be done from the first 1000 days of a child's life. That means, mothers have to pay attention to nutritional adequacy from the beginning of pregnancy. Stunting can occur since pregnancy if there is growth restriction in the fetus in the womb. \n\n Make sure the food intake of pregnant women is sufficient so that the fetus develops properly. If the mother's food intake is sufficient and there are no other complications, generally the fetus will grow and develop properly. The adequacy of this food intake can later be seen by the increase in fetal weight according to gestational age.\n\nTry to ensure that pregnant women consume enough macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, and fat. In this case, give priority to pregnant women get animal protein. Balanced also by consuming micronutrients, namely vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables. \n\n Stunting prevention then continues into the breastfeeding period. Mothers must understand the correct way of breastfeeding, so that children do not experience malnutrition, especially malnutrition. Followed by giving the correct MP-ASI to support the growth and development of children\nDuring the first 1000 days of a child's life, starting from the beginning of pregnancy until 2 years after birth, it is very important to meet basic needs for optimal growth and development. Basic needs are grouped into 3 groups, namely physical-biomedical needs (fostering), affection/emotional needs (love) and stimulation needs (cushioning).\n\nOne of the important parenting needs is nutrition, especially for children up to 2 years old. The first two years of life are a critical period/critical window, in this phase children must receive food intake with optimal nutrition.\nFulfillment of child nutrition is then divided into several phases. Starting from breastfeeding until the age of 6 months. Followed by ASI and MP-ASI for children aged 6-12 months. Then, breast milk is added to family food for children aged 12-24 months. \n\n Meeting the needs of children in this period will form good nutrition and normal height. mothers can provide sea fish and meat, to meet adequate intake of essential fatty acids (DHA & ARA).\n\nMeanwhile, for children under 1 year of age, it is more advisable to be given food made at home. Avoid giving MP-ASI whose manufacturing process is not clear. Especially in terms of safety and fulfillment of nutrients.\nIf you want to provide ready-to-eat food, you must ensure that the food is registered with the Ministry of Health or the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).\nGiving snacks to children must also be considered, mother. Providing inappropriate snacks can interfere with meal times, so that children's food intake becomes less.\n\nsnacks should be given only 2 times a day, between meals. That is, snacks should not be given before mealtime. In addition, also make sure that the snacks have good nutritional value. To be safe, it's better to give fruit, pudding, and biscuits. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Measles Cases Increase, Immediately Complete Your Child's Immunizations<\/a><\/h3>
The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) stated that there were Extraordinary Events (KLB) of measles in Indonesia as of January 18, 2023 in 34 regencies and cities in 12 provinces. Do you know Hermina's Friends, Measles will be very dangerous if complications occur. The impact can cause severe diarrhea to death. Measles is highly contagious, even more so than COVID-19. Measles starts to spread even before the rash appears. Transmission of measles can be through the air, splashes of coughs, sneezes and through contact with sick people or contaminated surfaces.\n\nWhat is Measles?\n\nMeasles is a disease caused by a viral infection of the respiratory tract. Measles is contagious (infectious) and can cause serious complications in children if not treated as soon as possible. The main cause of measles is a viral infection from the Paramyxovirus family, such as rubeola and rubella. This viral infection can be transmitted by splashing the saliva of a measles patient.\n\nSymptoms of Measles\n\nHigh fever\nCough, runny nose and red eyes\nWhen the fever gets higher, around the 4th to 5th day, a reddish rash will appear\nIn the healing phase the rash will coalesce and become black and scaly\nThe child is not infected when the rash has turned black or approximately 4 days before and after the rash appears\nMeasles Danger Sign\n\nDehydration\nQuick breath\nChest wall depression\nHard to wake up\nCan't eat and drink\nLess urination (BAK).\nDischarge from the ear\nThere is yellow green pus/liquid in the eye\nHigh Risk of Measles Infection\n\nChildren < 5 years\nNot vaccines\nChronic disease/comorbidity\nLow immune system: cancer, autoimmune, taking immunosuppressive drugs (suppressing the body's immune system)\nMalnutrition\nIf the child is sick and the mother is pregnant, separate the children. Pregnant women are at high risk of experiencing severe measles complications and miscarriages, fetal death and growth retardation in the fetus may occur\n\n \n\n How to Prevent Measles?\n\nThe situation in Indonesia in the last 2 years or almost 3 years since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had bad implications for immunization coverage. When immunization coverage is low, vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, diphtheria, polio, and mumps spread rapidly again. Prevention of measles can only be obtained from immunization, so immunization according to the schedule must be carried out so that children are protected from measles.\n\nIn Indonesia, measles vaccine doses are given according to the immunization schedule according to the recommendations of the Indonesian Pediatrician Association. This vaccine is given at 9 months of age, followed by booster doses at 18 months of age, and when the child is in elementary school (age 5–7 years).\n\n\n\nFathers and Mothers of Friends of Hermina, come on, complete your baby's immunizations at Hermina Bekasi Hospital with your favorite pediatrician.\n\n\n\nDownload the app Hello Hermina to make an appointment with specialist doctors at Hermina Bekasi Hospital.\n\n\n\nsources: IDAI and the Ministry of Health \n\n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ulcer Disease: Causes, Symptoms, and How to Overcome It So It Doesn't Recur<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's friends, of course, have often heard about stomach ulcers. This disease, which is also called dyspepsia, causes pain and discomfort in the stomach. Discomfort in the stomach is the cause of various conditions and is not a disease. However, it is a symptom of a disease. \n\n Curing this disease is quite easy, but if it is not handled properly, it will only get worse. If it gets worse, this disease will interfere with daily activities. That's why it's important to get treatment right away when the symptoms start to appear. \n\n What Is the Cause of Ulcer Disease ? \n\n To find out what the causes and symptoms of stomach ulcers are, the Friends of Hermina need to first know how the stomach actually works. The stomach is an organ that will digest any food after Hermina's friends consume it. \n\n This digestive process is carried out chemically with the help of the enzymes pepsin and renin, mixed with stomach acid, or HCL. If there is interference, the mucosa will be damaged. This is what causes pain. \n\n If this happens continuously, stomach acid will break down the mucosa, causing inflammation or irritation. This is the condition that causes stomach ulcers. In other words, pain due to acute gastritis is caused by the mucous lining coming into contact with stomach acid. \n\n In addition, there are also other triggers that can cause heartburn, including: \n\n ●  Excessive anxiety or stress \n\n As a human being, anxiety or stress is a natural and common occurrence. However, it's a different story if the stress and anxiety are excessive. This condition will certainly interfere with the daily activities of Sahabat Hermina. Especially if Hermina's friend develops stomach ulcers. This excessive anxiety and stress will trigger the recurrence of heartburn that Hermina's friend suffers from. \n\n ● Eat quickly \n\n Eating quickly, in a hurry, and in very hungry conditions is not recommended. This is because eating too fast can disrupt the digestive process. so that it will cause stomach ulcers. \n\n \n \n Eating Late \n \n \n Overweight \n \n \n Consuming oily, fatty, and spicy foods. \n \n \n Too much consumption of caffeinated drinks and soda \n \n \n Excessive consumption of chocolate. \n \n \n\n   \n\n Heartburn Symptoms or Signs \n\n Signs or symptoms that arise due to stomach ulcers are not difficult for Friends of Hermina to recognize. Generally, these symptoms are like these : \n\n - It's easy to feel full when you eat. \n\n - Feeling nauseous \n\n - Upper abdomen feels bloated. \n\n - Burp \n\n - Feeling of pain in the pit of the stomach and in the middle of the chest that immediately appears after eating \n\n - The upper abdomen feels hot. \n\n These are some of the symptoms that often appear in people with ulcer disease. Apart from that, heartburn can also cause a burning feeling in the chest. This is the effect of stomach acid rising into the esophagus. \n\n   \n\n Complications that can be caused by heartburn \n\n \n \n Esophageal stricture \n \n \n\n Narrowing of the esophagus occurs when a person experiences recurrent heartburn due to acid reflux. Symptoms that appear are usually in the form of difficulty swallowing and pain in the chest. \n\n \n \n Barrett's esophagus \n \n \n\n Continuous exposure to stomach acid in the esophagus causes changes in the cells in the lower lining of the esophagus to become cancer cells. \n\n \n \n Pyloric Stenosis \n \n \n\n This complication occurs when stomach acid causes long-term irritation of the lining of the digestive system. The pylorus is the pathway between the stomach and the small intestine. In cases of pyloric stenosis, the pylorus becomes scarred and narrowed. As a result, food cannot be digested properly. \n\n   \n\n How to Overcome Heartburn and Avoid Relapse \n\n So that stomach ulcers don't recur, there are several things that Hermina's friends can do. This method is the right solution, and Friends of Hermina can apply it easily, disciplined, and earnestly. What are these ways? \n\n ● Maintain and manage a healthier diet \n\n A healthy diet is the key to dealing with major stomach ulcers. Therefore, if you want to be completely free from this illness, Friends of Hermina must maintain and manage your daily diet. For example, by changing the portion size to eat less but more frequently,It means it's better for Hermina's friends to eat small portions but do it often. Then, after eating, Hermina's best friend cannot lie down immediately. At least if you want to lie down, wait 2 to 3 hours after eating. Hermina Friends should also avoid foods that are too spicy, sour, fizzy, or high in caffeine, as well as alcoholic beverages. because these foods and drinks can trigger a recurrence of stomach ulcers. \n\n ● Replacing bad habits \n\n It's not only the diet that Hermina's friends have to change. Bad habits that Hermina's friends often practice every day should also be replaced. For example, smoking habits, being too lazy to move, wearing tight clothes that can suppress the stomach, and so on. This bad habit becomes a trigger and can even exacerbate the heartburn that Hermina's friend is suffering from. Instead, start being an active person. For example, by exercising regularly and balancing it with healthy and balanced food consumption, \n\n ● Manage stress \n\n As explained above, stress is also a trigger for stomach ulcers. Therefore, if friends of Hermina want to avoid heartburn, try to manage stress. If Hermina's friend already has stomach ulcers and often feels depressed, then it's better if Hermina's friend joins a meditation class. Not only that, but friends of Hermina can also join counseling. Friends of Hermina will advise you to seek psychotherapy if you have tried these two methods and the ulcer has not healed. \n\n ● Enough rest \n\n What is equally important is getting enough rest. Friends of Hermina must let the body feel relaxed by resting. The easy way is to get enough sleep for 7 to 8 hours every night. Adequate rest and sleep can overcome pain and mild heartburn symptoms. Here are four ways that Friends of Hermina can help if you want stomach ulcers to not recur. What Hermina Friends should keep in mind is that if the stomach ulcer does not heal or worsens, they should see a doctor right away.so that Hermina's friends can get the right treatment and not make the symptoms worse. \n\n Friends of Hermina can consult with specialist doctors at the hospital about Ulcer Disease.Hermina's closest friend or Hermina's best friend can also consult online with a hospital specialist.

Measles in Children<\/a><\/h3>
There has been an increase in cases of measles among children in Indonesia. Measles is a disease caused by a viral infection and characterized by a red rash all over the body. Measles is a contagious disease and can cause serious complications, especially in infants and children. \n\n  The main cause of measles is infection with viruses from the paramyxovirus family, such as rubeola and rubella. This viral infection can be transmitted by splashing the saliva of a measles patient. \n\n  Please note that people with measles can transmit the disease for 4 days before the red rash appears on the skin. In fact, people with measles can still transmit the disease four days after the red rash appears. In addition, the virus that causes measles can also survive in the air and stick to objects for about 2 hours. \n\n  There are several factors that can increase the risk of transmitting the measles virus to someone. The risk factors for measles are as follows: \n\n \n They have not received the MMR vaccine. \n The body is deficient in vitamin A. A body that is deficient in vitamin A will be at greater risk of causing more severe measles symptoms. \n Travel to a country experiencing an outbreak of measles. \n \n\n Generally, symptoms of measles will appear approximately 7 to 14 days after the body is infected with the rubeola or rubella virus. Early symptoms of measles are high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. Indeed, the early symptoms of measles look a little like the common cold. \n\n However, after a few days, measles will display its characteristic symptoms, namely a red rash on the skin. The symptoms of measles are as follows: \n\n \n Cold, cough, and sore throat. \n The body feels weak. \n Red eye. \n High fever. \n Muscle aches and pains \n Decreased appetite. \n Diarrhea. \n Nausea and vomiting. \n Red rash all over the body. \n Grayish white patches on mucous membranes, such as those of the mouth and throat. \n \n\n However, measles is a preventable disease or belongs to the PD3I (Immunization-Preventable Disease) type. Therefore, it is important to immunize children against measles to prevent measles infection. If your child has not received the measles immunization, immediately do the immunization at the nearest Hermina Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is heart disease a hereditary disease?<\/a><\/h3>
Heart disease is often referred to as a "hereditary disease." because many people believe that children of parents who have heart defects must also suffer from the same disease. However, is this opinion true? \nThe answer is not entirely correct. Although the inheritance of genetic aliases is possible, heart disease is also a type of disease that can occur by itself. This means it can affect anyone with a risk factor. There are several factors that can cause heart disease.These include unhealthy lifestyles, irregular eating habits, a lack of exercise, and heredity. \nMeanwhile, there are also several diseases that can increase risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and obesity. There are also age factors, family history, and smoking habits, all of which can increase the risk. \n\n Heart disease is often caused by hereditary factors. In addition to hereditary factors, the risk of heart disease increases if there are families with risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Genetic factors can affect the risk of heart disease, one of which regulates the cardiovascular system. Variations can cause the body to process cholesterol differently, change the strength of blood vessel muscles, etc. In addition to heredity, there are other factors that determine, especially external factors, namely lifestyle. heart disease that can be hereditary, namely cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm), hypercholesterolemia, Marfan syndrome, etc. Therefore, if there are family members who have heart disease, you should routinely carry out health checks to identify the risk of heart disease. \nHowever, risks can still be reduced and managed by adopting a healthy lifestyle as early as possible. The reason is because research shows that a healthy lifestyle increases the risk of heart disease. Unfortunately, more and more people are living unhealthy lives nowadays. \nStart living a healthier lifestyle. \nUntil now, coronary heart disease has been the third-leading cause of death in Indonesia. The bad news is that awareness of the dangers of this disease is still low and often ignored. It is not uncommon for someone to become aware of heart disease when it has reached a more serious stage. \nYou can do this by making lifestyle changes so that you no longer experience this condition and pass it on to your baby in the future. A healthy lifestyle actually plays an important role in reducing a person's risk of disease. A healthy lifestyle can be started with a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate rest, and regular health checks. This is important for the prevention and detection of various risk factors as early as possible. \n\n You can invite loved ones to adopt good habits and use the Halo Hermina application to schedule laboratory tests to avoid the risk of disease. Being physically active and living a healthy lifestyle with your family is definitely more fun and can be more effective. Do moderate-intensity exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. Also avoid smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. This type of intake has been proven to exacerbate health problems. If you have a family history of heart disease, you should try to keep your weight as balanced as possible because being overweight can increase your chances of developing this disease. \n\n   \n\n   \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

ADHD in Children: Recognize the Symptoms and Treatment Options<\/a><\/h3>
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children. As a result of this disorder, children can become hyperactive, less focused, and impulsive. These symptoms can later affect the child's learning process and the way they socialize. This condition can have an impact on children's achievements in school. Unfortunately, the symptoms of ADHD vary from child to child and are sometimes difficult to recognize. \n\n CAUSES OF ADHD \n\n The cause of ADHD is not known with certainty. However, research shows that there are several factors that can increase a child's risk of developing ADHD, including genetic and environmental factors. ADHD is also thought to be related to disturbances in the brain's electrical flow patterns, or brain waves. \n\n There are also those who think that hyperactive behavior disorder in children is caused by a sugar rush or excessive consumption of sugar. However, this has not been proven to be true. \n\n Every child may experience many of the symptoms of ADHD. So, to get an accurate diagnosis, the pediatrician must evaluate the child using several criteria. ADHD is generally diagnosed in children aged 7 or older. If parents are worried that their little one has ADHD, here are some symptoms to look out for. \n\n ADHD SYMPTOMS \n\n There are several symptoms of ADHD that parents should be aware of: \n\n \n Cool with Himself \n \n\n Children with ADHD are usually unable to recognize the needs and wants of others. They tend to focus more on themselves and don't care about other people. For example, when told to wait their turn, children with ADHD tend to be very impatient and can even annoy other children. \n\n \n Like Interrupt \n \n\n Self-focused behavior can cause a child with ADHD to interrupt others when they are talking or engaging in conversations or games they are not part of. \n\n \n Difficult to Control Emotions \n \n\n Children with ADHD may have difficulty controlling their emotions. They may express their rage at the wrong time. \n\n \n Always Anxious \n \n\n Most children with ADHD are often unable to sit still. They may try to get up and run, fidget, or squirm in their chair when forced to sit down. Anxiety can make it difficult for children with ADHD to play quietly or engage in relaxing activities. \n\n \n Unable to Complete Tasks \n \n\n A child with ADHD often shows interest in many different things but ends up having difficulty with them or not completing them at all. For example, when they play stacking games or do homework, the Little One can suddenly move on to the next thing that interests them before completing the previous task. \n\n \n Less focus \n \n\n Children with ADHD tend to have a hard time paying attention, even when someone is talking directly to them. The little one may say that he listens to what the mother says, but when asked to repeat, the child will not be able to. \n\n \n Often makes mistakes \n \n\n ADHD can make it difficult for your little one to follow instructions or carry out a plan. This can then make the child careless and lead to mistakes. However, the mistakes he made were not because he was lazy or unintelligent, but because he had ADHD. \n\n \n Daydream \n \n\n Not all children with ADHD are always loud and noisy. Some children may even be more quiet and find it difficult to socialize with other people. He could have preferred to daydream and ignore what was happening around him. \n\n \n Difficult to set up  \n \n\n Children with ADHD often have difficulty managing their tasks and activities. This can create problems at school, as they find it difficult to prioritize homework, school projects, and other assignments. \n\n \n Forgetful \n \n\n Children with ADHD can be forgetful in their daily activities. They may forget to do chores or homework and often lose things, such as toys. \n\n What should parents do if their child has ADHD? \n\n Children with ADHD are actually the same as children in general. They need love and affection from their parents. It's just that they need more attention and a different approach. \n\n Here are some tips for raising a child with ADHD: \n\n \n Tell the child about the condition \n \n\n It's best not to keep secrets about ADHD in children. Inform and educate children about the situations they are in. Explain that this is not their fault or mischief. That way, the child will understand and start trying to control it. \n\n \n Don't sue children \n \n\n Children with ADHD may be more inconsistent than children in general. It could be that today their test score is 95 and tomorrow only 60. Avoid demanding that your child be better, let alone questioning why yesterday's grades were good and today's are bad. Children with ADHD are actually smart. They certainly know what to do, but sometimes they don't know how to begin. This is what people in general misinterpret about children with ADHD.  \n\n \n Keep teaching responsibility \n \n\n ADHD can make it more difficult for children to do something, but parents still need to be firm and teach children about responsibility. For example, if a sulking child doesn't want to do their homework on the pretext that they are a child with ADHD, be firm. Give children the understanding that doing their homework is a necessary responsibility. Even though it's difficult, tell your child that he still has to do it. \n\n \n Apply rules and consequences slowly \n \n\n For children with ADHD, parents will find it easier to apply rules and consequences verbally and in writing. For example, parents can post a list of their children's responsibilities and house rules. \n\n If you want to give rewards to children, that's fine. However, don't lure children with gifts for something that is old, like "Mom will buy you a bicycle if you win." Children with ADHD have trouble planning ahead, so it doesn't make sense to promise a new gift will be given next year. Instead, buy gifts that can be given in the near future, such as being given permission to play games outside of a predetermined schedule. \n\n Parents also need to explain the consequences to children clearly. Then, gradually but firmly implement the consequences that have been established. Maybe sometimes parents feel frustrated and tired of dealing with their children. However, try not to educate children with anger. \n\n \n Helping Children Find Their Strengths \n \n\n Children with ADHD are often ostracized. This can make her feel worthless and prone to depression. Children may feel that they cannot do anything useful and are always wrong. Then it becomes easy to lose enthusiasm. \n\n If this happens, parents need to revive the child's enthusiasm. Try to observe and find out what the child is interested in. As long as it's positive, encourage him to work on it until he's really good at it. Don't forget to give your children the understanding that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Then, invite him to find his strengths together. \n\n \n Don't be Overprotective. \n \n\n Along with time, children with ADHD will certainly grow up. So, they need to learn to be independent. Even if you want to make sure everything goes smoothly for your child, occasionally let him make decisions and work things out on his own, as long as it's not dangerous. \n\n   \n\n Then, how do we handle and prevent it? \n\n Treatment of ADHD can be done with drugs or psychotherapy. It should be noted that parents, families, caregivers, and teachers at school also need guidance in dealing with children with ADHD. ADHD cannot be cured completely, but the treatment given can relieve symptoms and help sufferers live a normal life. \n\n   \n\n The appearance of ADHD in children cannot be prevented. However, pregnant women can reduce the risk of their children developing ADHD by staying away from cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and drugs, especially during pregnancy. In addition, keep children away from cigarette smoke and exposure to toxic substances. \n\n   \n\n Here are some symptoms and strategies for dealing with ADHD children that parents should be aware of. If parents find these signs in their child, they can immediately take the child to a psychiatrist or psychologist for further treatment. \n\n   \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
