Is Your Child Hyperactive ?

What are signs of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?

Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, may have signs of hyperactive behavior, a lack of attention and difficulty concentrating.



Signs of hyperactive behavior

• Fidgeting and restlessness, almost constantly
• Not sitting in the same seat for any length of time
• Running or climbing inappropriately
• Talking too much
• Always playing too loudly
• Always "on the go"
• Blurting out answers to questions in school
• Cutting in line or unable to wait for a turn in activities
• Interrupting others

Signs of a lack of attention

• Difficulty following instructions
• Not seeming to listen to parents or teachers
• Not being able to focus attention on activities
• Frequently losing things needed for school or at home
• Not being able to pay attention to details
• Appearing disorganized
• Being unable to plan ahead effectively
• Being forgetful
• Appearing very destructible

Most children with ADHD show signs of both hyperactivity and attention problems. Some children, though, may have only signs of inattention. They may have trouble concentrating and paying attention, but they may not show signs of hyperactivity. This kind of problem used to be called attention-deficit disorder (ADD). ADD is now thought of as a form of ADHD.

Behavior Problem In Gifted Children's

Behavior Problem In Gifted Children's 

The term "gifted" is applied to children who learn at an above average rate. the child who have more then 150 IQ level would come in this category and this is really a good news for the parents who have such kind of child but this also bring special care and attention to the child. higher intelligence also create some really big problem to the parents here we have tried to mention some of the problem which we have seen in our clients.

Perfectionism

A gifted child may strive for perfection in all of his work, which can trigger him to the top of the class. But perfectionism can have its disadvantages. Perfectionism can sometimes lead to anxiety and depression. The constant need to be perfect at schoolwork and beyond can cause your child to feel anxiety before a test or project is due. Depression can follow a less-than-perfect performance, leaving your child upset for days following.

Sensitivity

Gifted child may sometimes suffer from intense sensitivity because of her knowledge base and acute senses. They might include a scratchy tag inside a shirt or lights that are too bright. This sensitivity can be related to a general over-excitability and interest in the world around her.

Restlessness

Being in a class that doesn't challenge him can cause a gifted child to feel restless and act out while in the classroom. When your child is always the first to finish an assignment, or his teacher purposely overlooks him to give another child the chance to answer, it can cause him to feel frustrated or anxious. It's why gifted children are often misdiagnosed as children with Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, when the restlessness really stems from not being challenged on a daily basis.

Social Awkwardness

Your child's academic gifts can make it hard for her to relate to other children her age. When she is more excited by learning numbers or words, she may learn to take refuges in her books over spending time being social.  This, in turn, makes it even more difficult to see peers as her equals. This can result in paralyzing shyness or awkwardness.

LOW IMMUNITY LEVEL:- low body immunity is the big problem in the gifted child we are searching the reason behind that but this is also a crucial issue and parents have to aware about this.

Self Injury in children's

Causes of Self Injury in children's 

1. Pain.
 Self abuse can sometimes be a sign of pain, especially for a child that has difficulty communicating or that is diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder. Observe the exact location of abuse and investigate whether it is possible that the child may be in pain. If the child is hitting his or her head or ear, try to determine if maybe they are suffering from a headache or earache.
You may want to ask if your child hurts or use the sign for pain while pointing to the area. Whatever method of communication you would typically use or if you are using a picture exchange communication system (PECS) , try to create a picture for pain to help them become familiar with this concept. If you believe your child is in pain, contact your pediatrician or family doctor for further instruction.

2. Attention seeking behavior.
 Self injurious behavior can also occur as a way to get attention. If you notice that the child tends to head bang or do other types of injurious behavior usually when alone and someone frequently goes over to give them attention immediately after the behavior, then attention is probably the motivator. Putting the child on a schedule of frequent attention every 5-10 minutes can help with this. You may also find additional strategies for attention seeking behavior at the link above.


3. Access to desirable items.
 Some children will learn that when they can't have something they often gain access to preferred items after hurting themselves. Self injury for this reason can be very tricky. If you try to withhold the items following self abuse you will risk an escalation leading to severe injury. You may find some of the tips on how to say no to be helpful, but seek help from a professional if you suspect this is the problem.

4. During transition times. Some children might engage in self injurious behavior to avoid transitioning to a new activity or to avoid and/or delay undesirable activities. Applying the transition strategies provided at the link above can help with a problem due to this reason.

5. Self-Regulation. It may also be helping a child to achieve self-regulation if the child suffers from sensory processing disorder. Working with an occupational therapist to develop a sensory diet and implement other sensory regulation activities can help to prevent self injury due to this reason.

6. Escape from undesirable activities. A child that doesn't want to do something that is asked might discover that self injury stops requests to do things. Compliance strategies can help to avoid injurious behavior due to this reason, but additional professional assistance may be needed if the behaviors are frequent or severe.
