Parenting a Child with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)

Parenting a child with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or AD/HD takes a lot of patience as well as education. Affecting up to seven percent of children, mostly boys, AD/HD is a developmental disorder. There are three main types: predominantly inattentive; predominantly hyperactive; and combined, in which children exhibit both types of symptoms.

Common symptoms
"Common symptoms of the hyperactive type include an inability to sit still, impulsivity, risk-taking behavior and excessive talking," says Virtua psychiatrist James Varrell, MD. "Children with inattentive symptoms often have difficulty following instructions and finishing tasks, and are easily distracted and disorganized."

Some advice
Dr. Varrell says parents can help by being patient, getting informed about the condition, offering extra tutoring, and getting the child involved in structured social activities like the Boy Scouts. "Karate can also be helpful," he says. "It teaches self-control and helps build self-esteem," he says.

It's also very important to seek professional help. Treatment often involves medication, which works well for most children. "The outcome can be very positive if AD/HD is treated appropriately," says Dr. Varrell.
