The first thing I want to say is that it can be very difficult to
diagnose ADHD in toddlers. Children at this age group are naturally
impatient and energetic. They run around without thinking of possible
consequences, cry excessively, and have difficulty concentrate for just 2
minutes.
However, children with ADHD do show signs and symptoms EARLY in their lives. Some parents are concerned when their children seem to be more impulsive and hyperactive compared with others at the same age.
Here are some of the symptoms that children with ADHD may display:
1. Sleep disturbances: let's face it. Many 2 or 3 years old are not good sleepers. But children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are more likely to have sleep problems than others, for example, waking up more often during the night, and having trouble falling asleep.
2. Extreme hyperactiveness: restless, running around non-stop until too exhausted to move, destroying things... I bet these have happened to most of our toddlers. But children with ADHD display these behaviors more frequently and extremely.
3. Inattention: Inattention is one of the most typical symptoms of ADHD. Children with this condition are reported to be more easily bored at games and toys, and are constantly distracted.
4. Hypersensitivity: how do you know if your child is hypersensitive? Well, check the following signs. Do they refuse to wear clothes of a certain fabric? Do they have aversions to foods of a certain texture? Some parents complain that their toddlers just won't wear denim pants because of the hard fabrics. My own son refused to eat bananas and eggs since he was less than one year old.
If your toddlers have shown the above signs for at least 6 months, it is advised that you talk to their pediatrician about their condition.
When it comes to treatments for this neuro-behavioral disorder, prescribed medications may not be suitable for very young children due to the potential harsh side effects.
However, there are natural treatments that work wonders for many families.
· Behavioral management techniques: behavioral therapy has proven to be highly useful for children. It is to increase good behaviors by providing positive consequences to the child.
· Diet changes: some experts believe that too much sugary food and drinks may make children hyperactive and impulsive. Balanced diets are essential for children's health and development.
· Homeopathic remedies: natural remedies such as Verta alb have long been used to help people with various health problems.
All of these above are safe for children, and are non-addictive. You can go to my website to read more on natural treatments for ADHD symptoms.
