new-born-behaviour

New-born’s behaviour is very different from that of an older baby and children. As they are adjusting to the outside world, they like to maintain the foetal position, clenched fists, bent hips and knees and arms and legs held close to the front of their body.  For many first-time parents, they may be unaware of the behaviours normally shown by a new born. It is important for the parents to know about their new born baby behaviour, how to manage that effectively and what they can expect.   New born behaviour: Know the normal aspects  A normal new born behaviour for the first few months typically consists of crying and sleeping for the long hours and eating. Other behaviour aspects include hiccup, sneeze, cough, spit up, burp and gurgle.  The posture for the first few weeks can be similar to that of a foetal position in the womb, which gradually changes with the baby’s development.  The reflexes can include ‘the sucking reflex’, the instinct to suck when an object is placed in its mouth, ‘the grasp reflex’ in which they tightly closed their fingers around an object placed in its hand and ‘startle response’ which is sudden throwing out of arms and legs and then quickly bringing them back to their body.  The breathing pattens in new born is irregular, that is they can stop breathing for 5-10 seconds and then again start breathing. This pattern usually occurs during the sleep and is considered normal but if it stops breathing for more than recommended time period or if it starts turning blue, then the parents should immediately seek medical attention.  New born crying: Causes and effective management  A new born usually cry and fuss for 2-3 hours a day for the first 6 weeks and the crying gets intense during the first 3 months or at about 6-8 weeks. Some new born can cry for longer time period than recommended. The baby crying typically signals to hunger, tiredness, need for burping, overstimulation, diaper change, need for comfort or even sickness.  The long hours of crying can get frustrating and overwhelming for the parents but they can definitely handle it by – Taking a break to calm the mind before soothing the new-born, making sure that the baby is not hungry, needs diaper change or sick, reducing the stimulation by lowering the noise and other activities and dimming the lights, wrapping the baby in a blanket and humming a soft calming tune and taking the baby for a ride in pram or sling.  In case the crying persists for the longer hours than usual or if the crying pattern is abnormal, try contacting the doctor for help. 

A baby’s behavior changes as they become more aware of the world around them. Their behavior is often a response to things that they like, is scared of, or finds interesting. As they learn to speak or express their thoughts with words or actions, they get better at communication and it gets easier to understand baby’s behavior.  Babies’ early experiences and relationships stimulate their brain, shaping the way they see, perceive and respond to the world. As your baby’s awareness of the world grows through these experiences, your baby learns new things and develops, this will result in you noticing many changes in their behavior. Your baby soon learns to tell you apart from everybody else. To them, you are someone very special and they totally trust you and depend on you. Your baby’s relationship with you and other primary care takers is the main way that they learn about the world and how to respond to it. they will copy what they see. Your behavior is the primary thing that will influence your child and they will learn to behave by watching you. WHAT MAKES YOUR BABY HAPPY? Your baby automatically develops strong attachments to the most important people in their world. These are the people who make your children feel loved, special, safe and secure. If you or your partner spends more of their time with the baby, its more likely that they will prefer that person more than others. Its part of their development. Similarly, your baby might love one toy much more than others that they possess. So, its natural that playing with their favourite toys and being with their favourite people is bound to make them happy and this is very well reflected in their behavior. When your baby is happy, they might smile and make noises stating that they are happy. Your baby can also learn to signal, wave or clap their hands when they see their favourite people. WHAT MAKES YOUR BABY ANXIOUS? Your baby might be afraid of specific things such as the bath and as your baby learns what to expect from their life, the unexpected might really hurt their feelings. For example, your baby may start getting afraid of people around them, they don’t recognize or anxious or upset around people who are not so important or familiar.  Also, once your baby understands that you are a separate person and that you have your own personal life and duties to do and cant be around them all the time, they might cry when you leave thinking that you will never come back. Fear of strangers and separation anxiety are very common and usually go away gradually throughout early childhood. WHAT INTERESTS YOUR BABY? As a baby, they might find mostly everything interesting.it is simply because, they have not even started to understand their surroundings and there is so much to learn about the world. Your baby will start experimenting with objects to see what is their purpose. As a result, almost everything will end up in your baby’s mouth because this is their method to observe and understand things. Your baby might also do other things such as biting, pinching or pulling hair just to find out what happens.  Around 6-12 months is a good time to start setting gentle limits to form the basis of teaching your child positive behavior in the future. For example, if your child gets too close to the railings, you can say, ‘No, that’s not safe’. Then simply, pick up your child and make him sit in a safe place. Your baby doesn’t understand danger, so its important to create a safe home environment, especially when baby starts moving. For example, it might be best to use a gate or some other way of keeping your baby out of the kitchen and away from hot cooking surfaces. They are attracted to almost anything without understand that whether it is edible or not, it is safe or not and it is right thing to do or not. They just want to explore objects and gain a sense of understanding things their own way. As a parent, it is your responsibility to let them understand and develop at their own pace and keep them away from any kind of danger. It may be so that your child ended up fidgeting with a knife, perhaps it is very dangerous as it can poke their eye, cut their skin or may leave a scar that will be with them for the rest of their life. Try to keep these sharp and dangerous object out of bounds. If it is in their sight, babies are curious enough to try their best to grab it and then experiment with it to see what happens.

Preschoolers are curious children, easily distracted, keen on independence and still developing self-relations. Preschool actually helps your child learn about getting along with other children of their age and elders and also get to know about following rules. Common preschool behavior concerns can include throwing tantrums, developing bad habits, lying to people and anxiety. They depend awfully a lot on their parents to guide them correctly through every problem that they encounter. Preschoolers are almost fascinated by anything in their surroundings, so you can expect a lot of ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘why’ questions. You need to spend more time with them to satisfy their learning urges – for example, while walking on the street, they encounter a strange insect, so you also need to stop to explain to them what it is and how harmful it can be. Preschoolers are a bit slow on the uptake as they still in the phase to understand the things happening around them. So, sometimes while you are talking to them, you might feel that they are ignoring or have blanked out but the truth is that they are still trying to understand what you said a minute ago. Independence is important to them, especially for those who try to do everything by themselves. But your child depends a lot upon you to boost their confidence and build up their self-esteem. Attention, praise, active listening and providing them opportunities to practice the skills they have learnt are some methods that will help in this process. As a preschooler, they are still getting better at self-regulation, which is great for getting along with kids at preschool or play group. But they still require your help with expressing strong feelings and emotions appropriately and managing behavior, especially in tough and challenging situations. WHY PRESCHOOL IS GOOD? Children, at this age, can benefit from going to preschool. Some kids may can take a while before they are accustomed to preschool or have fears in the first place, about going to preschool. But its too great an opportunity to pass, as preschool will allow your child to make friends and practice skills such as communicating and sharing. They start to learn to follow other people’s rules and getting along with them. BEHAVIOUR CONCERNS IN PRESCHOOL YEARS Anxiety It is a normal part of your child’s development and preschoolers often fear of being lonely or being in the dark. If your child worries too much or shows signs of anxiety often, you can support them by acknowledging their fear and gradually encouraging to do things they are anxious about. Don’t forget to praise them after each trial. It’s a great way to rid them of their fear.  Bullying Bullying can be devastating for your child’s confidence and mental health, especially in their preschool years. If you child is being bullied in preschool, immediately seek support of the school staff and support your child with lots of love and compassion. Make known to them that you will take care of everything and nothing similar would happen to them in the future. Fighting Fights, confrontations and disagreements are very common among children. A few factors that affect fighting are – temperament, age, environment, overconfidence etc. Children learn what he sees. You can start by reducing fights at home in front of them and explaining to them the negative impact that fighting has. Habits Lots of children have habits that children posses include biting nails, digging their nose, not washing hands regularly or scratching their head. It may be so that you cannot stand to watch these but these are natural, you can just talk to them about this. As they grow older, they automatically learn and rectify their habits. Lying This is no big secret that all children of this age lie about something or the other. You may have noticed their lying but being unexperienced they are immediately caught. It is a part of their development process and you have to try the best you can to teach them values such as truth and honesty. Though it is okay to lie in some situations but never tell them that. Shyness Shy behavior is common among children of any age group. But preschoolers are still learning ways to make their thoughts known and how to express their feelings. its always beneficial for your child when you praise them and encourage them to interact with others, make eye contact and play with them as often as possible. Tantrums If your child has tantrums, its nothing to be mad about considering the fact that they are still learning to express their feelings. If you work on reducing their stress, connecting with their feelings and emotions and carefully spotting what triggers their tantrums. This will help you to monitor them leading to fewer tantrums in the future.

Teenage may be associated with the term ‘adolescence’ which is a stage in which there is continuous psychological and physical development in a human that generally occurs when he enters from puberty to adulthood. Teenage is perhaps the most important stage in a person’s life. It is the time when parents start noticing changes in their child’s behaviour as well as his physical self. It may be characterized by growth spurt, voice change, facial hair, frequent mood swings, rebellious behaviour, demand for freedom and allowance etc.  As a parent, now is the time to be closer to their children more than ever. The first step should be to closely watch and understand their child’s behaviour and if a change from the usual is noticeable, they should immediately approach him/her. Here are a few tips that might lead you to a path of successful parenting. ENCOURAGING GOOD BEHAVIOUR Engage in a conversation with your child as often as possible. Take time to actively listen to their worries and troubles. Try to be someone that your child may look up to and admire. This is the best way to teach and instil good manners and positivity. Understand that your child is now mature enough to handle some responsibilities. Handling responsibilities is one the biggest challenges of teenagers and an important stepping stone towards becoming an adult. Praising your child’s success is one of the most important things that a parent can do. It not only boosts their self-confidence but also makes them feel wanted. Sharing your personal feelings and experiences as a teen might be the best way to establish a connection and it makes future conversations way easier. Teenagers demand for a bit of freedom and privacy. A parent should respect the personal space of their child and little actions such as seeking permission before entering their room can prove to be very effective. SIBLING TENSION It's natural for fight to break out between siblings at this age. Children slowly start to understand how the world operates and how real pressure of studies and expectations feel. It's a stressful phase. Frequent mood swings and low tolerance are common among teens. Even the slightest bit of hate is enough to make them burst out in anger and create commotion. Even a petty issue such as the control of the television remote can initiate fights. The blame game is not uncommon between siblings as a result fights break out and it's nothing out of the ordinary.  This is where the role of parents come in. It is the perfect time to preach how important family is. Teens must be taught to be on good terms with every family member as they will be the only ones to be truly happy on their success and step up whenever they require any kind of help. Family values and respecting others ought to be cultivated at this age.  As a parent, you must, Encourage siblings to resolve fights themselves. This will make them learn essential life skills. Although stepping in would be a faster way but it must be avoided. Only step in if a sibling gets verbally or physically violent. Understand each of their perspectives and carefully listen to them. Knowing what each of them wants will enable you to explain them where they went wrong. Help the siblings calm down. Fights bring out strong emotions and may lead to some kind of emotional trauma. Making them calm is not easy during a fight but for them to come to a mutual understanding, it's important. Fights can be avoided to a great extent if the parents treat their children equally and stop comparing them with each other. Distributing equal amount of household chores between them is a great way to start. Staying connected with children and promoting positivity and sharing, inculcating family values and relaying the importance of optimism will definitely help. PEER PRESSURE AND FRIENDS Monkey see, monkey do. So, it's very important to have good friends to stand by your side as they are more influencial than our own parents. Teens like to rebel. They will never miss an opportunity to act like an adult. Peer pressure can be the worst nightmare of a teenager's parent. They know that they have done their best to never indulge in harmful activities like smoking, alcohol, drugs etc. Teenagers are most likely to try atleast one because of the ever growing curiosity. Peer pressure an cause teenagers to even steal money from their parents' wallet or credit card to flaunt their rich lifestyle or acquiring the same product as their friends upon their parents' disapproval. To make your child ready for this inevitable circumstance, you must Build teenage confidence. Encourage them to try new things and upon success always praise them. Confidence will compel them to keep themselves way from people and situations that are not right. It will provide strength to resist negative peer influence. Make them accept themselves as they are. Make them believe that you care about them and never take a decision unfavorable for them. Self compassion comes in handy when dealing with stress and peer pressure. Teach them to say 'no'. It takes courage to say no to friends at this age but confidence is key. There will be situations when your child does not want to embarrass himself in front of his friends. But you can always teach some methods to politely decline an invitation. Such as 'No thanks, I have got to be somewhere right now'. Encourage your child to invite friends over. This will make you learn more about your child's friends and check whether is there a peer influence or not. This can be achieved by good communication and positive relationship. Try to keep your child's friends' phone number as it will be very useful. BULLYING This, perhaps could be the worst trauma a teen can suffer. It can be referred to as usage of force, harmful intentions, intimidation on a physically or emotionally weaker person or someone of lower grade. Cyberbullying is where the threats are given over the internet. Some of the signs of bullying may include that your child, Refuses to go to school or college Comes homes with damaged or missing belongings Isolates themselves Looks gloomy or nervous all the time Has bruises on their body Has difficulty in sleeping Parental role is extremely important here. You must actively listen to your child and show interest in all what's happened. Comfort him by reassuring that you are always with him. Tell him that what happened was not right and that they deserve to be treated with respect. Praise them for opening to you and sharing their feelings. The next step is to contact the school or college authorities and relay all the information and leave everything to them. The reverse is possible too, maybe your child is the bully. In such a case you must get to know more about their daily life, such as what they are doing in school, who are his friends, how often he gets involved in conflicts and his behaviour at home. It is possible that by bullying others, they are venting out their stress and anger. In this circumstance, you must contact the school and co-operate with them until your child leaves bullying others. Cyberbullying include, Spreading rumours online about people Excluding someone from a social group or games Stalking people online Creating fake accounts with real details of people Disclosing people's personal information without their permission Harrasing people online Cyberbullying can lead to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. To prevent this, you must beforehand let your child know about it and how dangerous it can be. Accepting requests from known people, not giving passwords, thinking before uploading or posting a photo or video are some of the precautions which you can teach your child. Symptoms of cyberbullying include, Low academic achievement Unusually longer use time of phone or PC Frustration and anger issues Homesickness and stays isolated If any of these symptoms are noticed, you must immediately approach your child and ask all the details, boost his confidence, let them know that you are there, avoid banning him from technology.

The values and virtues they learn Today, will last with them their entire life. Trying to become your child's friend is much more effective than approaching them as a parent.

It could be beneficial to remember that your infant is really just communicating with you. In fact, research suggests that a baby’s screams are influenced by the language spoken in their home. German and French babies, for example, cry to distinct melodies. What specifically is your infant attempting to communicate, then? Here are a few typical problems that your young child may be attempting to express. Intestinal problems The digestive system of your kid is growing, and this process involves a lot of learning. Every step can make you cry till things are easy. Hunger The most frequent cause of crying in infants is hunger. Thankfully, taking care of it is simple. Your infant will relax once they begin to eat. Unless the item after that on our list starts. Gas It takes some practise for babies to learn to regulate their breathing while feeding, so they might swallow air at first. Make sure to burp your baby both during and after the meal to aid in the removal of gas. You can hold them upright under the arms while supporting the head, drape them across your arm, or put them over your shoulder. Have a burp cloth on hand to mop up any spittle. Soiled diaper Verify that the diaper on your child is clean. Their delicate skin will become irritated by poop, especially if they already have a rash. Avoid problems by smearing a layer of diaper cream over the diaper area every time you change them. Food intolerances and allergies If you’re breastfeeding, you know that everything you eat is passed on to your baby through your milk. Gluten, eggs and dairy can be difficult for your baby to digest. True food allergies in young children are rare. If you are breastfeeding you may want to change your diet. If your baby is formula-fed, talk to your doctor about switching formulas. Typically, solid food is introduced at 6 months. You should talk to your doctor about when to introduce common allergens like cow’s milk, peanuts, fish, wheat, and eggs. This schedule may vary depending on whether your child is at high risk of developing a food allergy – your doctor knows your family best! Other causes Aside from feeding and digestive issues, there are other reasons your baby might be crying, including: Fatigue Babies can become overtired if they stay up too long or are overstimulated. Your baby will signal to you that he is getting tired by crying, yawning, touching his face or pulling his ears, clinging to you, or moving away. Your job at this point is to get her to sleep. Try diapering, feeding, rocking, offering a pacifier, and darkening the room. When your baby gets sleepy, place him on his back in his crib or cradle. Body temperature Like humans, babies don’t like it when it’s too hot or too cold. Slide a finger down the back of your baby’s onesie to see if it’s sweaty. Touch your baby’s ears to feel if they are too cold. And then dress them appropriately.

You’re cradling a crying baby (again) and wishing you were anywhere but here. What can you do to deal with this? Bury your nose in that soft spot on your baby’s neck and breathe in this heavenly scent. Then try these tricks: To calm oneself down. Okay, that’s easier said than done. But it’s worth it. Promise. Why does it work? It’s something called entrainment: we’re programmed to fall in sync with an external rhythm. This means your baby’s breathing and heartbeat will naturally follow yours. So hold her slow. Cluster feed. During the witching hour, your baby may want to nurse every 30 minutes or more. That’s perfectly fine. Hopefully they’ll sleep longer at night when they fill up their tummy with cluster feeding. Use a pacifier. All babies have a strong sucking reflex. You can try soothing your baby with a pacifier instead of offering your breast or a bottle. Not only will sucking soothe your baby, but all the saliva he swallows will help break down the milk that’s already in his stomach. Offer skin-to-skin time. You can soothe your baby by holding him naked to your chest (red alert: leave diaper on) so he can hear your heartbeat. Check for tourniquet syndrome. Make sure no hair is caught on your baby’s fingers, toes, or genitals. The hair could restrict blood flow and cause redness and swelling. It’s pretty rare, but keep your eyes peeled. What can help a crying baby? You can’t spoil your baby with too much attention. To calm a crying baby: First, make sure your baby doesn’t have a fever. In a baby, a fever is a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F). Call the doctor right away if your baby has a fever. Make sure your baby is not hungry and has a clean diaper. Cradle or walk the baby. Sing or talk to your baby. Offer the baby a pacifier. Take the baby for a stroller ride. Hold your baby close to your body and breathe calmly and slowly. Give the baby a warm bath. Pat or rub the baby’s back. Place your baby on his tummy across your lap and rub your baby’s back. Put your baby in a swing or vibrating seat. The movement can be calming. Put your baby in an infant carrier in the back of the car and go for a ride. The vibrations and movements of the car often have a calming effect. Play music – some babies respond to both sound and movement. Some babies need less stimulation. Babies 2 months and younger may be well swaddled and lying on their backs in the cradle when the lights are very dim or dim. Make sure the wrap is not too tight. Stop changing when the baby starts to roll over. Never shake a baby A crying baby can cause extreme stress. In fact, mothers are biologically wired to feel this stress. So when crying seems unstoppable, stress is building up in your body. Still, make sure you never shake your baby. Severe shaking can cause the blood capillaries in your baby’s brain to burst. Shaken Baby Syndrome can be fatal. If you’re feeling extreme stress when your baby cries, it’s perfectly okay to place your child safely in their crib and step back to take a few deep breaths. You can also ask your partner or a friend to do the caring for you for a while.

New parents often worry they’ll hurt their baby by handling them incorrectly since newborns appear fragile, from their tiny fingers to their swaying heads. I can understand their worry, but many new parents don’t realise how resilient new-born’s are. If you make soft, supportive movements when feeding or changing a baby’s diaper, you won’t damage them even though you must hold a newborn with care and never shake the baby. No of the position, supporting the head and neck is crucial. Unless you’ve spent a lot of time with new-borns, their fragility can be intimidating. Here are a few basics to remember: Wash your hands (or use hand sanitizer) before touching your baby. New-borns do not yet have a strong immune system and are therefore susceptible to infections. Make sure everyone who touches your baby has clean hands. Support your baby’s head and neck. Rock your head when you are carrying your baby and support your head when you are carrying your baby upright or when you are laying your baby down. Never shake your new-born, either in play or out of frustration. Shaking can cause brain bleeding and even death. If you need to wake your baby up, don’t do it by shaking — instead, tickle your baby’s feet or gently blow on one cheek. Make sure your baby is securely fastened in the carrier, stroller or car seat. Limit any activities that might be too rough or springy. Remember that your new-born is not ready for rough play, such as B. being shaken on the knee or thrown in the air Try using the five Ss. Follow the five S’s to calm your infant if you cannot understand why he or she is crying. These activities will soothe the infant by simulating the uterine environment. Swaddle Hold the infant in either a side or stomach position. When it’s time for bed, always remember to put your child on his or her back. Shut up – Use the vacuum, hair dryer, fan, or clothes dryer to drown out any other noises. Swing – Rock the infant or put them in a stroller or automobile. Have the infant sucking on a pacifier. Practice will help you improve. Concern when handling a newborn is common. But as you practise, you’ll grow more accustomed to it. Additionally, our neonatal staff will ensure that you receive plenty of practise before you are left on your own.

Tell your child that talking about a problem can often help put things into perspective and make feelings clearer. Someone with more or different experience – like an adult – might be able to suggest options your child hasn’t thought of. Suggest some other people your child could talk with if they don’t want to talk with you – for example, aunts or uncles, close family friends, a trusted sports coach or religious leader, an elder or your GP. Let your child know that talking with GPs or other health professionals is confidential. These professionals can’t tell anyone else, unless they’re worried about your child’s safety or someone else’s safety. Emphasise that your child isn’t alone. You’ll be there whenever your child is ready to talk.

The attention deficient hyperactivity disorder also known as ADHD  is a  disease that begins in childhood and encompasses symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity and may or may persist to adulthood. These symptoms majorly interfere with regular  functioning of individual at school, at work, and in social situations. ADHD is present in approximately 7% of the children, and  is more common to boys. For a majority of people the disorder continues into adulthood, by careful managing can greatly improve quality of life for people with ADHD. It is  estimated that nearly 25 to 50% of people with ADHD experience sleep problems, ranging from insomnia to other  secondary sleep conditions. Doctors are  now starting to realize the importance of treating sleep problems and the impact this can have on both ADHD symptoms and quality of life for ADHD patients and their families.  Beginning around puberty, people with ADHD are more likely to experience shorter sleep time, problems falling early asleep and staying on bed for very long, and a higher risk of developing a sleep disorder. Nightmares are also very b common in children with ADHD, especially to those with insomnia.  Even those children who are rarely hyperactive during the day may experience racing thoughts and a burst of energy at night that interfere with sleeping. For some, night-time offers the perfect opportunity to “hyper focus” on project, as there are less distractions. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult for them to settle down for sleep and it can lead to a disrupted sleep-wake schedule. Over time, insomnia may worsen as people start to develop feelings of stress and anxiety related to bedtime. Many people with ADHD experience daytime sleepiness and difficulty waking up in the morning as a result of poor sleep during night . Others experience restlessness, non-refreshing sleep with multiple night-time awakenings, horrible nightmare . Sleeping problems in ADHD appear to hit differently to people depending on the type of ADHD they are suffering from . Individuals with predominantly inattentive symptoms are more likely to have a later bedtime then usually , while those predominantly hyperactive-impulsive symptoms are more likely to suffer from insomnia And sleeplessness. While Those with combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive symptoms experience both poor sleep quality and a later bedtime. Many ADHD symptoms are similar to symptoms of sleep deprivation. Among others, adult ADHD sleep problems include forgetfulness and difficulty in concentrating and focusing on things. In children, fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity may present as being  impulsive and distracted . Sometimes it can be difficult to identify whether these issues are brought on by ADHD or by a lack of sleep. Such cases may lead to misdiagnoses or may allow sleep disorders to go undetected. Medical Experts therefore recommend screening patients for sleep problems before prescribing any medication for ADHD .  Some of the most common sleep disorders to watch for in people with ADHD include: Insomnia. Along with medications and trouble sticking to a schedule, there are other reasons for the people with ADHD are at high risk for insomnia. One may get a burst of energy at night, along with racing thoughts which make it hard to get to sleep. Even when you do sleep, it might not be restful  especially if you also have nightmares.  Circadian-rhythm sleep disorders. Our  body makes changes throughout the day to adjust to the amount of light and darkness in a 24-hour period of time . Sometimes the body may not be in tune with the cycle and might not release hormones like melatonin at the right time which in turn, can make it hard to fall asleep.  Sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea stop and start breathing throughout the night and suffer breathlessness . It messes with your rest period of the body and leaves you feeling tired.  Restless legs syndrome (RLS). Symptoms include limb discomfort and a strong urge to move your legs  And hands while you sleep. Some people describe the feeling as pulling, throbbing, aching, or itching inside there Forelimbs and Hind limbs .  Things to look out for symptoms of sleeping disorder in person with ADHD include: Trouble falling asleep and Trouble staying asleep Trouble waking up in the morning Waking up screaming out of anxiety Waking up coughing and suffering from breathing problems  like laboured breathing or pauses in breathing during sleep Strange noises during sleep Anger and Irritability Falling asleep in the middle of class Distractibility and difficulty in paying attention 1st stage of Treatment  involves asking the person about: About Their usual bedtime The general amount of time it takes them to fall asleep Problems Awakenings during the night Duration of Daytime naps Daytime and night time energy levels  The doctor may also give the patients a sleep diary. They’ll ask to use the diary to record the patients sleeping habits over several weeks. If the doctor suspects a sleep disorder, they may order different diagnostic tests other than the ADHD curing   .  Some lifestyle changes and home remedies that can help the patients ADHD with sleep disorders include: Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day  Avoiding caffeine in the late afternoon  Avoiding alcohol and nicotine  Avoiding the use of electronics majorly  before bedtime Using the bed primarily for sleeping and never for activities like working, eating  Keeping the bedroom dark, and cool Getting enough exercise and physical activities during the day Avoiding heavy meals especially close to bedtime Establishing a relaxation routine before bed, such as reading books, listening to soft music , doing yoga, or taking a warm bath Using  a weighted blanket

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common chronic condition  that affects millions of children all over the world and often continues into adulthood. ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour,Angerness  it also affects a person’s ability to concentrate and makes them easily distracted, impulsive, or excessively energetic. There are several medical  treatments available for ADHD, but another approach is to try to control symptoms through home means, such as your diet.  A Health, food, and nutrition can make a remarkable difference in the lives of both children and adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD Some research has indicated that genetic factors, family education, environment and dietary habits have some major association with people suffering from ADHD. If You have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder then , you may notice that you have strong and very unpredictable  emotional reactions to things that other people seem to take in stride. Heightened, over-the-top emotions with the disorder are very common for people carrying this disease , and the reaction can be in both positive and negative situations. It is also not unusual for person  with ADHD to feel physically hypersensitive to touch, sounds, light, even of the tags on clothing.  Studies have consistently documented that improvement with age in core symptoms are mostly accompanied by functional changes in cortical and cerebellar regions of the brain whereas basal ganglia anomalies seem to be a peculiar lifetime feature of ADHD, regardless of adult remission . Studies on structural anomalies and age-by-diagnosis interaction in the caudate and putamen have also supported the pivotal role of subcortical basal ganglia anomalies in the pathophysiology of ADHD which in turn gives observation about infections response of the patients .  Probably, a variable and complex interaction between predisposing genetic and environmental factors during the early months or years of life could affect the normal path of neurodevelopment of a child . Considering the above-mentioned structural and functional evidences, environmental factors influencing basal ganglia development should be worthy of investigation and further studies . For instance, a specific vascular vulnerability of the striatum due to its positioning in a border zone of arterial supply has already been suggested by a case-control study reporting on hypoxic and other perinatal complications  and by the review of some in vivo studies . A more recent study has shown  the negative impact of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the caudate nucleus in people suffering from ADHD.  Recently It has been reported that in China many children with ADHD also have allergic rhinitis or asthma. These children are more Venerable and   susceptible to the common cold or upper respiratory infections compared with normal healthy children. Additionally, the common cold or an upper respiratory infection may lead to some disease recurrence or worsen the symptoms of disorder in these children. Previous studies and some deep researches have determined that the ADHD may have a close association with allergic disease. Based on the clinically observed phenomenon and  studies, it was hypothesized that ADHD is a high inflammation  and immune‑associated disease.  Therefore, some scientists designed a clinical and animal experiments to test this hypothesis in the future. Immune system disorders may be a intruding  part of the entomology  of ADHD. The current report and outcomes of experiments may have implications for future clinical practices.  So the Patients with ADHD might be more prone to infections during there early childhood  stage and subclinical streptococcal infections during adulthood. Moreover, they seem to have an increased risk for basal ganglia autoimmunity by reaching adulthood. Both of these infections and the ensuing acquired autoimmunity could influence the neurodevelopmental process, by contributing, at least in part, to the ADHD pathogenesis.

For children with ADHD the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) has recommends parent training in behaviour management as the  initial stage  of treatment, before medication is tried. For small children  the recommendations include medication and behavior therapy together , the parent training in behaviour management and other therapy of behaviour therapy and training are for adolescents.   Schools can also be a very important part of the treatment as well. AAP recommendations also include adding behavioural classroom intervention and school’s pupils and peers support. Good treatment plans will include the close monitoring of whether and how much the treatment helps the child’s with its behavioural activities  , as well as making changes as needed along the way.  The Behavioural  Therapy, Including Training for Parents:  ADHD affects not only a child’s ability to pay attention or sit still and concentrate at school, it also affects it’s mutual relationships with family and other children. Sometimes Children with ADHD  show behaviour that can be very disruptive to others. Behavioural  therapy is a treatment option that can help to reduce these aggressive symptoms ; it is often helpful to start behaviour therapy as soon as a detection of the disorder is made. The ultimate goals of behaviour therapy is to learn or strengthen positive behaviour and eliminate unwanted aggressive behaviour in children. it is usually most effective if parents and educators work together to help the child to come out of the situation.  For Children younger than 6 years of age For small children with ADHD, behaviour therapy is an important first step before trying any kind of medication because: Parent training methods in behaviour management gives parents the required skills and strategies to help their child. Parent training in behaviour management has been shown to work equally as medication for ADHD in young children. The Young children have more side effects from ADHD medications than older children. The long-term effects of ADHD medications on young children have  been well-studied and are have some major effects on child’s health.  For School going children and adolescents For  older children  AAP recommends combining medication treatment with behaviour therapy. Several other types of behaviour therapies are effective in treatment of symptoms , that including: The Parent training in behaviour management; Behavioural interventions in the learning environment The Peer interventions that focus on behaviour And basic behaviour Organizational skills training. These approaches are often most effective if they are used together, depending on the needs of the individual child and the family Other treatment therapies for ADHD  Try to exercise on most days   You don’t really have to go to the gym Everyday . A 30-minute walk four times a week is more than enough to provide the needed benefits. Thirty minutes of any physical activity every day is even better. Try to Pick something enjoyable stuff, so you’ll stick with it  Choose activities that will build your physical strengths or that you find challenging yet fun. Team sports can be a good choice for you because the social element keeps them interesting. Get out into nature Many Studies proves that spending time in nature can reduce the symptoms of ADHD. So you can Double up on the benefits by combining “green time” with some exercise. Try hiking, trail running, or walking in a local park to get some fresh air . Meditations Meditation can help children manage their ADHD symptoms in their everyday life and can help them control the behaviour that cause difficulties with family, friends, and at school. Healthy diet A good protein rich diet with lot of fresh fruits v, vegetables and animal products will surly help a patient of ADHD to overcome there problem of anxiety, hyperactivity and impulsivity.  Medication  There are Several different types of medications  to treat ADHD in children and adults Stimulants are the best-known by far and most widely used ADHD medications. Between 75-80% of children with ADHD have fewer ADHD symptoms when taking these fast-acting medications. Non stimulants were approved for the treatment of ADHD in 2002. They do not work as quickly as stimulants, but their effect  last up to 24 hours. Medications can affect different children differently and can have side effects such as decreased appetite or other sleep problems. One child may respond well to one medication, but not to other one . Healthcare workers who prescribe medication may need to try different medications and doses. The healthcare providers observe and adjust the dose of medication to find the right balance between benefits and side effects on different personality . It is important for parents to work closely with their child’s healthcare providers to find the medication that works best for their child. Problems associated with treatment The children receiving stimulant treatment for ADHD have long been the subject of scientific discussion. Conflicting results have been reported with some scientists indicating that stimulants  indeed affect growth in children, but  it only occurs during active treatment phase and does not compromise final height in children . Taken together different theories, and results suggest that clinicians should monitor the growth of hyperactive children receiving stimulants, and consider dose reduction in cases where  evidence of growth suppression occur. Another frequently concern about treatment of ADHD with stimulant medications is that it could lead to drug addiction and it causes in fertility. Young people with ADHD are the impulsive risk takers, and there is clear evidence that untreated ADHD especially with concomitant conduct disorder is generally associated with a three- to fourfold increase in the risk of substance misuse  and addiction.  Healthcare costs Healthcare costs for individuals with ADHD in have not been fully estimated, but evidence from the past records suggests that they are increased compared with age matched controls. The findings are likely to reflect increased injury following accidents and a rise in use of substance abuse services and other outpatient facilities, although poor ability to comply with advice on medication may also be implicated in the total cost. A study of the injuries to children with ADHD established that children with ADHD were more likely to be injured as pedestrians or bicyclists than children not suffering from ADHD and are normal . They were more likely to sustain injuries to multiple body regions, head injuries, and to be severely injured which required a good amount of money to be treated .The difference in these costs was basically due to a higher incidence of mental health problems in the family members of ADHD patients, which reflects the major stress and demands of living with an adult or child with ADHD. Indeed, ADHD related family stress has been linked to increased risk of major parental depression and alcohol related disorders.

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder  (ADHD) is a chronic disorder that begins in childhood stage of an individual and encompasses symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms generally interfere with functioning of the affected person at school, at work, and in social situations. ADHD is present in approximately 6-7% of children, and it is more common in boys. For a majority of these population the disorder continues into adulthood also , though careful management and proper treatment can greatly improve quality of life for people with ADHD. An estimated 35 to 50% of people with ADHD experience some sleep problems, ranging from insomnia to many secondary sleep conditions and  complain of restless nights and exhausted mornings. Doctors and scientists are starting to realize the importance of treatment of these sleep problems and the impact this can have on both ADHD symptoms and quality of life for ADHD patients and their families.  Sometimes, ADHD medications can cause many adverse reactions, other times your racing brain keeps you up. Just as there is no single reason for ADHD-related sleeping disturbances, there is no single solution that will works for everyone.    What’s the Connection Between ADHD and Sleeping disturbance ? With Beginning of puberty, people with ADHD are more likely to experience shorter sleep time, problems falling asleep and staying asleep for long duration , and a higher risk of developing a sleep disorder. The Nightmares are also very common in children with ADHD, especially those with insomnia. Sleep problems in ADHD is more likely to increase with age, though sleep problems in early childhood are a risk factor for future occurrence of ADHD symptoms. Even those who are rarely hyperactive during the day may experience racing thoughts and a outburst of energy at night that majorly interfere with sleeping.  Unfortunately, this makes very  difficult for individuals   to settle down for sleep and it can lead to a disrupted sleep-wake schedule. Over time, insomnia may get worsen as people start to develop feelings of stress related to bedtime. Importance of Sleep  A Good and sound sleep is a crucial part of our physical and mental well-being. We typically spend about one third of our lives asleep but when we miss out on sleep, we can feel fatigued , stress and struggle to concentrate. Sleeping disorder  are generally quite common and have been reported as one of the most common health conditions in individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is possible that sleep disturbances can make ADHD symptoms more worse in affected children and adolescents .  Improving on the sleep quality has the potential to reduce ADHD problems and to have a positive impact on everyday life of the affected individuals, as well as their families A healthy sleep is important for the ability to focus and concentrate on work , pleasant mood, general health, and a overall Well-being of an individual . Unfortunately, many people with ADHD do not get the proper amount of sleep they need. In fact, around 35 % to 50% of people who have ADHD suffer from sleep problems. Sleeping disorder  and ADHD have a complex relationship but taking steps to improve sleep can also help to improve some of the symptoms of ADHD. A good  Sleep plays a very crucial role in supporting good mental health and helps us to regulate emotions. In turn, this supports better decision making by a individual  . Tips to have a good sleep  Try to a Create regular Wake-Up cycle  A proper Waking up  on time depends on the time of going to bed, and getting a full night’s rest. Try to Develop routines that will help you wake up happier and faster in the morning . These get-to-sleep and wake-up routines can be made simple by  listening to music each night, having coffee and reading the paper each morning.

Another solution is try to Concentrate on relaxing one muscle at a time, starting with your feet and moving up toward your head, slow breathing out each time you reach a new muscle group.

Why it’s difficult to concentrate for the people with ADHD  ? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)  is a chronic developmental difference that affects the parts of the brain that control attention, impulses and concentration. Common symptoms are short attention span, restlessness, hyperactive, aggression, and constant fidgeting and being impulsive. People suffering from this  condition lack the filters to ignore what is going on around them resulting in a lack of focus. It can occur to any people of all intellectual ability and is common in people with learning difficulties . so it is not just an inability to pay attention on a broad perspective it’s an inability of brain to control attention. Children with ADHD generally have a decreased  level of brain arousal, which in turn lowers their ability to screen out distractions like noise in the hallway, movement outside, or even their own inner thoughts and feelings. That can moreover affect a student’s ability to concentrate and focus , to pay attention, listen, or put effort into schoolwork. ADHD also can make a student fidgety, restless, talk too much, aggressive, hyperactive or disrupt the class. Kids with ADHD might also have learning disabilities that cause them to have problems in there school education.  The ADHD brains are naturally low on dopamine and norepinephrine, which control brain arousal , attention and concentration  levels. Other people may find that, when the situation demands for it, they can “buckle down” to all distractions and force their brains to focus. For people with ADHD, the advice to “just focus”  is maddening, it simply can’t be done by the individual .People with ADHD of the inattentive type have the major trouble paying attention to details, and more are easily distracted, they often have trouble organizing or finishing tasks and are more likely to forget routine chores such as paying bills on time or returning phone calls.  When the ADHD brain gets stressed  it tends to jumps into fight or flight mode. This  generally looks like a lack of motivation if You abandon your piles of laundry or half-done taxes and binge-watch Netflix instead. So try to Break this chain  by identifying the triggers that cause you to feel overwhelmed. For some, it’s hunger; for others, it maybe too many conflicting priorities.  Whoever must have  said “focus on what’s really important” might not have had adult ADHD. The conversations with people you value most, such as family and friends, and other important tasks that will advance your career,  everything seem almost impossible to stay concentrated when you have adult ADHD. The disorder makes it harder for your brain to focus on the details, so your mind wanders while others are speaking and at times This can be frustrating for you and to many others also .  But by changing your routine in simple ways can help you to come out of the situation.  Take  a deep Breaths  may seem very  obvious, but you’d be amazed by how many people forget this important step when they’re stressed out. Practicing simple meditation and taking deep breaths can help improve your ability to focus, as said by Shane K. Perrault, PhD, a clinical psychologist and founder of the ADHD Performance Clinic in Greenbelt, Md. “When you have ADHD, your blood doesn’t flow to a part of the brain where the high-order decisions are made,” he explained. The yoga, Meditation and breathing exercises can help you relax and better manage the symptoms. Try to exercise on most days   You don’t really have to go to the gym Everyday . A 30-minute walk four times a week is more than enough to provide the needed benefits. Thirty minutes of any physical activity every day is even better. Try to Pick something enjoyable stuff, so you’ll stick with it  Choose activities that will build your physical strengths or that you find challenging yet fun.

So you can Double up on the benefits by combining “green time” with some exercise. Try hiking, trail running, or walking in a local park to get some fresh air . Healthy diet  Try to eat smart as by Following a healthy diet can help improve many of your ADHD symptoms, including your inability to concentrate, Perrault said. People with adult ADHD need to be sure to start the day with protein rich breakfast as They are metabolized quickly, causing your blood sugar to spike.  Acknowledge the things you have done and try to dismiss  negative thoughts. Taking frequent short breaks during the lesson that can be helpful in making  the tasks more manageable. Try Breaking down the tasks into smaller more manageable chunks   dividing up questions groups and then asking learners to share their answers with each other encourages collaboration and peer support.  Keep your place a clutter free zone. Remove any unnecessary hanging  from the walls as they will only add to distraction.  Include various visual, auditory and kinaesthetic activities. Vary the interaction patterns by giving students opportunities to work together in pairs, groups and individually on different projects . Playing memory and concentration games can help students learn to focus better and longer.

The role of ADHD coach  Many children and adults with ADHD lack the major organizational skills, they are often losing things or becoming overloaded with commitments. They may struggle with managing their time, prioritizing there work , planning, persisting at tasks and sustaining motivation towards goals. The Coaching is a tool you can use along with medications and other ADHD treatment therapy  to help you get organized and reach your goals. While ADHD can have a positive impact on a person’s energy levels by making them hyperactive and creativity, it can also create different challenges in other areas of life. For instance, people who have ADHD might have difficulty in performing certain tasks, such as responding to emails, meeting deadlines, or following instructions. ADHD coach helps to tackle these and similar practical matters .The coach provides a supportive non-judgmental partnership in which the patients is encouraged to set  attainable goals and create an action plan to reach those goals moreover  An ADHD coach is a trained professional who helps the patients to come up with different ways to handle the responsibilities and activities made harder by  ADHD symptoms. What Is ADHD Coaching? ADHD coaching focuses on practical ways to deal with everyday tasks that might be tougher for ADHD patients . The process is a lot like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy that works to change the way you react to different situations. Coaching helps the individual with many lifesaving and important tasks the coach always looks after the children and teach them the following  Prioritization things  Motivation to do work Basic Organizational skills Planning and scheduling the tasks Problem solving skills  Stress management techniques Impulse management Help with Confidence and self-esteem building The Relationship and communication skills Memory improvement  Homework and study activities But while CBT and other organizational therapy focuses on your thoughts and emotions, ADHD coaching work  on larger perspective it teaches you how to adopt positive behaviour towards life . An ADHD coach will work with you to pinpoint and have a very close view on how ADHD affects you. Then, they’ll help you learn to solve your problem by your own.  Your coach will also be your  regular accountability partner who can encourage you as you work to change your habits. What ADHD coaching will help you to learn ?  An ADHD coach is a trained professional who works with teens and adults who have ADHD to address there life challenges directly. A coach will train you and can help develop and hone abilities in the following areas: Organization. The Time management, skills, task and project management, workflow, prioritizing, keeping records, multitasking, and organizing your home or office all this will be taught to you by your coach.  Managing emotions.

Learning communication and social skills, problem-solving, interpersonal conflict resolution, punctuality, public speaking, and boundaries of things . Achieving goals. It includes the healthy lifestyle, career success, managing a household, accountability, and motivation Like other types of mental health counselling sessions, ADHD coaching can happen in a one-on-one setting  you can take this sessions in person, on the phone,  or in a group setting on a regular basis. Typically, sessions are around 30 to 60 minutes. You and your coach will decide how long your coaching periods need to be, based on your progress and the symptoms you have The coaching will  work best for people who are aware that they need help and feel ready to make a change. It can be especially helpful if you are a child , because your coaching can focus on time management and staying on task with assignments. A child with ADHD can also see it’s coach in their parents, or parents of a child with ADHD may see a coach separately. The teacher can help both the child and their parents learn more about the disease, and find new ways to approach life in more easier way with its symptoms.

The go-to diet for children with ADHD  Foods that are rich in fibre  protein and carbohydrate may help kids with ADHD focus, concentrate, and learn. A healthy  Fibre , protein rich , and a complex carbohydrate, food take longer to digest and keeps blood sugar levels stable longer, which is super  beneficial for kids with ADHD, because any quick dips in energy can trigger behaviour changes and impact concentration Try Keeping these easy and healthy go-to food on hand to sustain their energy and avoid triggering symptoms.  Mini healthy Pizzas to Improve Concentration and Behaviour Mini pizzas are a fun, quick snack , easy and tempting food that your child will never resist and you don’t have to tell your kids they’re healthy. You can Make a mini pizza on a whole-wheat bread with low-fat cheese (that’s the protein source).

Vitamin C and folate, in particular, play a direct role in helping brain functioning.  Orange juice, oranges, and strawberries are all good sources of vitamin C, and other beneficiary nutrients and they’re all smoothie-friendly so try adding mango, spinach, and avocado, Bananas, and other fruits to your kids smoothie to make it more wholesome and nutritious which will aid in the formation of neurotransmitters that affect behaviour.  Try Hummus Spread on Pita to Help Kids Focus Hummus is a Middle Eastern spread made from ground chickpeas and sesame seeds. It’s a great source of plant protein,  fiber and other vitamins and minerals . Chickpeas and sesame seeds also contain iron and folate, which may help with ADHD by improving functions like blood flow and focus, and concentration.  Have Peanut Butter on Whole-Wheat Bread to Build Memory For kids with ADHD symptoms and all other kids, too the healthy snacks should contain protein, which helps with building memory and learning. One classic idea: peanut butter which is an excellent source of protein spread  on whole-wheat bread is a great choice for kids to sharpen there memories.  Make Veggie Sticks With Tasty Dips to Entice Kids With Dampened Hunger When your child opens up the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets, being parents  you want them to see healthy snacks, instead of cookies, candies, or salty snacks, so Cut up fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and sweet bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and leave them in the fridge for easy and healthy snacking. A healthful diet will surely reduce the symptoms of ADHD by reducing exposure to artificial colour’s and additives and improving intake of micronutrients needed by a persons body for normal functioning. Paneer, peanut butter, cottage cheese, and low-fat dressings made in olive oil and healthy sauces make great dips for cut-up veggies and may entice kids whose ADHD medications dampen their hunger.  Dried Fruits and Nuts to Boost Fiber and Protein intake Dried fruits are another great source of fiber and multivitamin for your child. They have little protein, but it generally go well with nuts, which can provide the protein needed in a healthy diet for ADHD. A dozen of almonds will net about 5 g protein. However, if you don’t watch portion sizes, dried fruits and nuts can quickly add extra calories to your child’s diet but That may not be a concern, since many kids with ADHD are hyperactive and need more calories . It’s recommended to divide the snack into small servings for your child so that they doesn’t overeat . Give Snacks With Hidden Nutrients to Cut Down on Sugar If your child with ADHD is a clumsy and fussy eater, one way to get them to eat healthy snacks is to disguise the healthy ingredients. Try baking a healthier version of carrot cake and cookies or zucchini bread. As a diet high in sugar can cause swings in your child’s blood glucose levels, exacerbating ADHD symptoms  but you can  cut the amount of sugar in the recipe by a quarter  without affecting the taste . You may also be able to substitute applesauce for the oil and other oil based food . Which Foods Are Good for ADHD and Which Can Make the symptoms more Worse? The snacks that contain a balance amount of protein and carbs are ideal for kids with ADHD. Keep a Watch on sugars and other processed food , low-fiber grains such as white rice, white bread, and white pasta. Avoid carbohydrate meals and snacks and try adding a protein rich sources like nuts, cheese, seeds, bean-based dips, yogurt, or milk allows the food to be delivered into the body in a steadier way that optimizes energy levels for conditions such as ADHD.

Every child gets the disappointing grade during there early school days And that’s very normal. Sometimes their own  shame is enough to set them on the right path for there future . Other times, parental influence and care is  needed to make sure it’s not the beginning of a pattern. Also Children with ADHD often have poor grades in annual school report card , low self-esteem, and an inability to interact appropriately with others. ADHD can make it so difficult for the child to control his behaviours that he appears to lose interest in whole  learning process  Effect of ADHD ON Academic Performance  ADHD impacts several aspect of the child’s life. During this phase of disorder He is forgetful, disorganized and impulsive. He has a hard time grasping simple concepts that most of his peers take for granted and make fun off . He gets easily distracted by everyday noises, such as a ticking clock, a bird in the tree outside the window, or a classmate sharpening his pencil and lose their concentration and get side-tracked several times during the study hours .  This kids have special needs and special care needs to be taken for their growth and development. They don’t have time to finish their lunch because they’re too busy watching the other kids on the playground. They may ask the teachers to go to the washroom but get distracted in the hallway and forget to go. These symptoms of ADHD  make a child’s day so difficult that by the time he gets home he’s in tears, or ready to have a meltdown. These everyday frustrations affect the child’s mental health, academic performance and inhibit the ability to learn new skills and concepts.  So, let’s have a look on how  you can help your child overcome some of the obstacles to learning caused by ADHD.  Identify  motivational patterns  by recognizing the symptoms and problems the child is facing you can help them to find out a relevant solution and building on special interests Towards learning . If your son stumbles in math, a learning-based computer game could make numbers fun to them .  Never punish poor grades.  It’s better to restructure time such as limiting instant messaging to your child to foster progress. Fear of punishment can block learning. Focus on a good  fresh start.    Praise your Childs ability  Try to Acknowledge  your Childs interest and abilities , the good attendance, the well-mannered attitude. Then identify and focus on areas of improvement. Assure your child that the grade does not make him a failure and that together you can find helpful strategies to overcome these grades.  Discuss Always try to discuss problems your child is facing towards learning and help them to  find out the solution. Ask them what’s making it so difficult for them to focus during their lecture series . Does the teacher talk too fast or is there any other disturbance . homework assignments incomplete? A structured routine is vital for the progress of your child . Give them time Kids always need some downtime to recharge after the school hours before tackling homework. Build homework into a daily routine that includes a protein snack for fuel, some physical playful activities a half hour of tube time, chatting with friends, or a daily chore like feeding the dog. Think proficiency, not perfection.  Some kids are slow learners , yet excel at music, art, or athletics. Nurture and acknowledge their gifts but discuss expectations. Rather than striving for straight  expect that your child be proficient in academic and social-emotional learning for their grade level.

When Your ears are constantly picking up the sounds around you even when you aren’t actively listening then the Selective listening comes into the play  when you focus your attention on some specific information. Basically it involves consciously or unconsciously choosing to listen to what is relevant to you and ignore what isn’t.  How does the Selective Listening Works Your brain is constantly functioning to interpret what you see, smell, touch, feel, and hear. Many Research on how the brain responds to listening different sound has showed how selective listening works.‌ The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that processes the different sounds you hear and When you focus on a specific noise, it only responds to that sound. Even in a room full of competing noise, the neural response of your auditory cortex is only connected to what you selected to listen to and focus on.  Your brain can pick out certain tones, frequencies, and signals that it recognizes on its own to process further. You’ll find that in situations where you are surrounded by many noises, your auditory cortex will struggle to differentiate between different then our selective listening will suffer. For example, talking to someone with a deep, gruff voice at a monster truck rally could be difficult because the deep tones of the voice and the truck engines can be easily blended.  The complex work that your auditory cortex performs is what sets you apart from voice recognition technology. You can have a conversation with someone even in a noisy room, but your phone will have a difficult time picking out your voice among a mess of other sounds being produced.  The Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder among the general population. It often appears during childhood, when selective listening skills are just started to develop. Its symptoms include hyperactivity, inability to pay attention, impulsive aggressive  behaviour. People with ADHD generally have trouble with selective listening. Selective listening requires you to focus on one set of sounds Between the noise. If you have ADHD, your brain might face difficulty to tune out unimportant sounds, especially if you’re in a noisy environment. Still, research has proved that people with ADHD can improve their selective listening skills there is no formal diagnosis or treatment is available, but a specialist can help you.  children with ADHD  have trouble screening out background noise, so they pick up bits of the every surrounding sounds. The echo in a gymnasium or the hum of the air conditioner in the classroom interferes with the conversation that’s important .for them It’s like listening to the radio with interference from different stations garbling the reception. A child with the disorder typically tries very  hard to understand what’s being said that more likely he forgets parts of the conversation or doesn’t pick up on the nuances or subtleties of the words.  A study conducted at the new York looked at the effects of Ritalin on auditory processing in children with  ADHD and has proved that people with ADHD can improve their selective listening skills there is no formal diagnosis or treatment is available, but a specialist can help you. How to Improve Your Selective Listening  If your brain is struggling to tune out unimportant sounds and focus on relevant noises, you can improve your selective listening skills with the following strategies: Working With a Professional This Treatment includes a wide range of exercises that target specific auditory deficits. Therapy can range from computer-assisted software programs like  Earobics to one-on-one training sessions with a speech and language therapist.  How does it works:  To overcome sound discrimination problem, a professional trains the child’s brain to differentiate mixed sounds  first in a quiet environment, then with  noisy  background . To sharpen auditory memory, an audiologist uses sequencing routines such as having the child repeat a series of numbers and directions to exercise the listening to the muscle movement ” To manage language-processing problems, a therapist trains and encourage a child to ask a teacher, adult, or peer to repeat or rephrase an instruction provided .  For  School the Classroom accommodations can often include: Seating a child in the front of the classroom, away from notorious students who might be disruptive, will  enhance a child’s ability to listen. Asking a teacher to face a child while teaching , speak slowly, and use simple sentences when giving assignments can help an ADHD  student retain the information.  Avoid noisy environments When your ears are overwhelmed with many sounds at a time , it’s difficult to pick out the sounds that you want to pay attention to.  Turn up the volume Ask the person talking to you to talk a bit louder, turn up the volume when you’re listening to a podcast, or move closer to what you’re listening to. If the sound is loud enough, it will be easier to formulate   the information you need. Try to Pay attention to one thing at a time Avoid dividing your focus  to many sounds if you’re already having trouble focusing one . If you’re watching a movie and listening to a friend at the same time, for example, pause one and give your full attention to the one which is your priority.

WHY CHILDREN WITH ADHD ARE MORE PRONE TO REJECTIONS  The Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience multiple negative emotional outcomes as teens and adults. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) makes it harder for the individual to focus, pay attention, and sit still. Most people who have ADHD are also very particular towards what other people think or say about them. Up to 90% of children and adults with ADHD are more sensitive than usual towards rejection. And nearly 1 of the 3 say it’s the hardest part of living with ADHD syndrome . This condition is called rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), which is not a medical condition , but it is a another way of describing certain symptoms associated with ADHD. The “Dysphoria” comes from a Greek word that means “hard to bear or resist ” People who have RSD cannot handle the rejection well. They get very upset if  someone has shunned or criticized them, even if that’s not the case. Even after the evidence-based treatment, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is associated with poor long-term outcomes. These outcomes can be partly explained by difficulties in peer functioning, which are common among teens and children with ADHD and which do not respond optimally to standard ADHD treatments. Many health experts have examined whether peer rejection and lack of dyadic friendships experienced by children with ADHD after treatment contribute to a negative long-term emotional and behavioural problems and global impairment, and whether having a reciprocal friend buffers the negative effects of these  rejection. People who have this  condition generally work hard to make everyone like and admire them. Sometimes they might stop trying and stay out of any situation where they might get hurt. This social withdrawal can look like social phobia, which is a serious fear in the ADHD people of being embarrassed in public. RSD can affect a persons relationships with it’s family, friends, or a romantic partner. They belief that being rejected by other people can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Symptoms of People with RSD: Be easily embarrassed Generally People Get very angry or have an emotional outburst when they feel like someone very close has hurt or rejected them.  Set a very high standards for themselves they often can’t meet Have a low self-esteem Feel anxious, especially in social gathering Have problems with there relationships Stay away from social situations and withdraw from meeting other people Feel like a failure because they haven’t lived up to other there high expectations Sometimes they might think about hurting themselves Why ADHD makes it hard for people to cope up with rejection Most kids and adults with ADHD struggle with managing emotions . Being rejected by others can bring up a very strong and long-lasting feelings of depression and sadness.  Many kids have found there ways of making themselves feel better if they’re rejected.  But the executive functioning issues can make this kind of self-talk difficult for kids with ADHD. Handling rejection requires the chief executive skills that most kids with ADHD lack. These also include the cognitive flexibility and self-control. The Executive skills allow kids to come up with explanations for what happened and what they are going through inside to develop a plan to move on. This kind of thinking helps kids to put emotional things in perspective. But kids with ADHD generally get stuck here. They find it hard to shift their thinking from one thing to another and move on.  Kids with ADHD often  feel like they’re on different side from others . They’re more likely to struggle in school and have social issues of emotional control which can lead to poor self-esteem . They are also very sensitive and aware that they’re quite different from other kids.  In extreme cases, the rejection triggers such painful feelings that kids go to great lengths to avoid it And might turn to hurt themselves. They  spend a lot of there energy in pleasing other people, so they won’t be rejected by them . Or they may withdraw themselves from the situations that might lead to  rejection, like joining a games at recess.  This only makes them feel more isolated and lonely . And it can contribute to many mental health issues such as anxiety and depression , which are very common in kids with ADHD. Although treatments van improve functioning in children but , they fail to normalize long-term outcomes.  .

Although symptoms of the disorder were coined in the early 1900s. Back then, the diagnosis was typically thought to relate to the child having suffering family members with psychiatric problem, or it may be the result of poor parenting. Quite  Strangely , many of these stereotypes persist even today. Despite of the ground-breaking scientific reaches  and clear neurological findings, people still continue to harbour many inaccurate beliefs  and promote some false myths  about ADHD, which only perpetuate misunderstanding, stigma, and shame in the society.   So Here are some of the misconceptions about ADHD and recent research available to address them: ADHD isn’t a real medical condition. Fact: The National Institutes of Health science and research , And the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, also the American Psychiatric Association all have recognized ADHD as a medical neurological condition. In fact, it’s one of the most common conditions in that occur during childhood. Millions of kids and adults in the world have it. People with ADHD just need to try harder. Fact: ADHD isn’t  just a problem of lack of motivation or laziness. Kids and adults who have the symptoms of disease often trying as hard as they can to pay attention towards the work but sometimes it gets difficult for them.  People with ADHD can’t ever focus. Fact: It’s true that people with ADHD usually have problem with focusing. But if they’re really interested in something they like, they may focus on it intensely which is called as hyper focus. Only kids can have ADHD It is One of the most common myths about ADHD is that it only affects small children, if you are a teenager or an adult you cannot have it which is completely wrong. It’s true that more than one in 10 children in the world has been diagnosed with ADHD, but the disorder can  affect adults as well . ADHD in adults is  generally accompanied with other mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.  All kids with ADHD are hyperactive. The stereotype of kids with ADHD is that they race around with thoughts and can’t stop moving physically . But not all kids with ADHD have hyperactivity as a symptoms indicate . And for those who do, hyperactivity usually goes away or lessens as they get little older by age. Only boys have ADHD.  Boys are more than twice as likely as girls to be diagnosed with ADHD disorder. But it doesn’t really specifies that girls don’t have it. They’re just more likely to be overlooked by there parents and remain undiagnosed. A Part of it also says that the ADHD can look different in boys than in girls .

Our little children are expected to be active, rambunctious, and impulsive. They often shout, play loudly and love to climb and run throughout the space. They squirm and fidget and love to be always up and out, exploring the world around them. It is something  unusual for kids to have trouble with listening, remembering, and following directions. This is all a normal trait of being a child.

The common symptoms of ADHD are pervasive and chronic behaviour , disruptive, hyperactive and impulsive and these cause significant problems for the child at school, at home, and with friends and family. Many Researchers have given evidences  that some parts of the brain tend to be a little smaller and/or take longer to mature than usual in kids with ADHD. This doesn’t mean kids with ADHD aren’t smart or they are lacking somewhere from normal children .

By the time young children reach  adulthood, these brain structures tend to become similar in size to those in adults without ADHD. This doesn’t really mean that ADHD goes away after  teen years, though. The symptoms of ADHD may change as kids get older, but ADHD is lifelong disorder . ADHD affects many other pathways too, like the frontal-parietal network which  plays a key role in making decisions and learning new tasks.

They can also have trouble in regulating their emotions and struggle with there executive function issues.  They may  have difficulties in the following:  Planning Prioritizing Paying attention Remembering details They also tend to be less mature developmentally then there other peers .

Relationships: Children with ADHD can experience struggles in their peer and family relationships .  Tip for parents  Parents must accept the fact that children with ADHD have functionally different brains from those of other normal and healthy children. While children with ADHD can still learn what is acceptable and what isn’t, their disorder does make them more prone to impulsive to their response to the other people and there rules and regulations.  Fostering the development of a child with ADHD means that you will have to modify your behaviour and learn to manage the activities and responses of your child.

HYPERFOCUS Though distractibility is the hallmark of the trait, people with ADHD can also become so engrossed in the things they love, that any form of distraction around them no longer bothers them In there path. Being hyper focused does really make them lose track of time and become oblivious to their surroundings, but it also helps them do whatever it takes to get the task done in a good way.  SPARKLING PERSONALITY Individuals with ADHD are quite bright, creative, and funny  often using self-deprecating humour to remind the world that perfection is wholly uninteresting to them.

Becoming more  self-aware means that people with ADHD are often skilled at understanding their own feelings , needs and finding ways to adapt in order to better manage their behaviours in any given situation and also find the solutions to there problems .  QUICK STARTERS.  While impulsivity is very ridiculous  symptom of  ADHD that often means that people with ADHD are quick starters. You can find them jump right in without worrying or doing endless research. If you are resistant to risk, resistant to change, hung up on process and procedure, you know it can take you forever to get anything done. People who resist change and will stick with systems even if they don’t work, or get stuck in analysis of paralysis.  GOOD IN CRISES.

It is also hurtful and dismissive of the real struggles faced by people with ADHD go through everyday. The symptoms of ADHD exist within the central nervous system  in human . Most people lose their keys from time to time, They tune out late in meetings also late to class And they have trouble delaying gratification. But these behavioural activities are not the same as ADHD. They are human behaviours or experiences that occur for many other reasons to any normal person.  For ADHD, the reason is neurological in origin. It is not a choice, a fluke, or a bad day but a life time problem . ADHD is a brain-based, and a chronic syndrome. It gets in the way of the smooth operation and self-regulatory functioning of the brain. Ongoing neurological researchers find many differences in the ADHD brain. The structure, volume, chemical activity and communication pathways in the brains of people with ADHD are different than those of any other normal people . Scientists have also linked several genes to this condition. People with ADHD show behaviours resulting from this inner brain dysregulation. These behaviours include forgetfulness, aggressive, violent nature ,distractibility, impulsivity and an inability to focus. For people with ADHD, these some of the behavior pattern are disruptive behaviors . And these symptoms happen more often, with greater intensity, severity, and chronicity than for people without ADHD. Furthermore, when people with ADHD try to change, they often can’t course-correct the way others can. People with ADHD have more negative consequences from their challenges than the normal people with these symptoms. They earn less and incur more debt than there colleagues and tend to struggle more with academic and workplace performance. They even face greater risk of any physical injury. It is true everyone can be forgetful and be distracted sometimes; and it’s also true that the vast majority of people – around 90-95% – do NOT have ADHD following these symptoms. There’s No Vacation From Our Overwhelm With ADHD, this overwhelm thoughts can be constant. Even when lying on a beach, drink in hand and trying to enjoy . By all appearances of the peace.

Forgetfulness and ADHD  ADHD formally known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a cognitive neuro- development disorder which is usually diagnosed during childhood. The American Psychiatric Association estimates that 9.4 percent of children and 3 percent of adults have ADHD. People with ADHD feel and process information differently than people who are normal in functioning. If you have the condition, you may feel that forgetfulness tends to occur very occasionally  , and you may find tasks that require using short-term and long term memory quite challenging.  Health experts  are still working to understand the exact impact of ADHD on the brain memory cells for children and adults.  Forgetting even small things, can be frustrating, if not infuriating. Failing to remember small and particular things, important events can spoil relationships And also can ruin your day for life .   Most of the  adults and children with ADHD tend to struggle with forgetfulness as an ADHD symptom.

They may also interrupt or express disruptive behavior in an individual .  The most common version of ADHD is a combination of these two symptoms, known as combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive type. The Biological cause is related to the brain  activity. The frontal lobe of the brain, which holds your impulse control, attentiveness, and memory, are likely to develop more slowly if you have ADHD .Working memory holds a small amount of information that your mind retain  as you’re working to complete a task. You can Think of it as the part of your brain that capture a phone number while you’re dialling it. Working memory holds only  a little  of data at a time while you work on completing something, “copying” the data from one place and “pasting” it to a another place before forgetting what it was. It’s human to forget small things occasionally, but for someone suffering with ADHD, forgetfulness tends to occur more often. This can include routinely forgetting where you’ve put something to do or what important dates you need to keep. Sometimes forgetfulness can be a great difficulty but not at the point of causing serious disruptions.  The bottom line is that forgetfulness can affect someone’s careers and relationships. Sometimes It can be easily be confused with carelessness or lack of intelligence by others if they’re not familiar with an ADHD diagnosis and other symptoms associated with the condition.

The Value of Education Let’s examine the significance of education for kids. It is the main educational manual for kids. It gives kids the chance to learn about various aspects of education, such as people, literature, culture, math, politics, and a number of other subjects. This enhances the mechanism of reasoning. The surroundings and living become very different if you are exposed to stimuli from different cultural backgrounds. Spending eight hours a day in the same old building full of obnoxious kids of all ages isn’t as easy as you might think. Furthermore, the endless homework that accompanies the students only increases their hatred of the school. There is no doubt that school is frustrating and boring when you try hard to get good grades. However, school is important; That’s why your parents urge you to work hard. School absenteeism means you are missing out on an important part of your life. Among the few disadvantages that a person who goes to school encounters, it certainly has some positive aspects as well. Scroll through the lines below to learn more about the importance of school. Knowledge is power School is the basis of the basic knowledge that is imparted to the child. It gives children the opportunity to acquire knowledge about many different educational areas such as people, literature, history, mathematics, politics and many other subjects. By gaining knowledge, a person is better able to help others. For example, you can calculate taxes easily and quickly if you study mathematics. Also, with better information, you can grab the attention of the meeting by actively participating in the discussion. A College Ladder You cannot enrol yourself in a college unless you finish your high school education. College is crucial for success and achieving your goals. You can get a nice career and live a better life with a higher degree. Unless you are one of the extremely few exceptions, you will not be able to support yourself financially without an academic profession. Enables social interaction You have the opportunity to interact with new youngsters your age by going to school. While some people just interact with their classmates, others develop intimate relationships that lead to lifelong friendships. On the other hand, you probably won’t be able to meet many such persons your age if you spend the entire day at home. Cognitive Function A school serves as a centre for learning and information. Students pick up knowledge in a variety of subjects, including history, politics, geography, arithmetic, physics, literature, and other subjects. These academic fields promote critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. All of these subjects improve students’ cognitive abilities. So, education improves brain capacity in this way. Confident and vocal The education gives students the self-assurance and communication skills they need. The ideas and thoughts of a pupil are expressed verbally. Every day a child picks up a new skill. We learn in school to ask “why” and “how”? In their schools, students study about the daytime and night-time climates, pollution, and other topics. As a result, when a youngster acquires knowledge, he comprehends the idea and the science underlying all of these aspects. He becomes informed about world events. He learns how to connect and socialise at school. He can defend his rights and uphold the duties after gaining information and learning. Development of the Body Every age involves the process of physical growth. The optimum setting for these advances is a school, though. Only when a youngster studies and plays with other kids his own age, can he properly use his energy and develop the best manners. The student also uses other school activities like sports, music, art and craft classes, and annual functions to channel his enthusiasm. The child gains health from these activities and learns how to channel their energy toward useful goals.

Being a parent is a difficult job, and no parent is flawless. Children and their parents have a special bond. A good parent will always make judgments that are in their children’s best interests and that will make them happy. A youngster will replicate their acts and adapt them into their own lives, therefore they must always keep this in mind. As a result, parents have a significant influence on a child’s development and health. Promoting a child’s physical, emotional, and social growth is largely the responsibility of parents. Basic Questions for parents to be addressed  Is your facility or home care licensed or is your home care supervised by an agency? Can I visit my child unannounced? (If the answer is no, ask why) How long have you been a childminder? What qualifications do you or your employees have? Does everyone have CPR and first aid training and have they been checked by the police? Ask for the certificates and documents. How many full-time and part-time employees does your facility have? If this is home childcare, does anyone else have access to the children? How much is it? Are there any additional fees? Will I be charged if I'm late picking up my child? Do you have a waiting list? What are your working hours? What is your sickness policy? What is your vacation policy? What is your cancellation policy? How many children are you currently taking care of? How old are you? Do older/younger children share playgrounds/activities? What is the maximum number of children you will take care of? Do you have separate areas for indoor games, outdoor games and naps? How often do the children play outside? what toys do you have Are toys for younger and older children kept separately? What activities will my child participate in? Is screen time limited or used at all? How do you discipline children? How do you deal with conflicts between children? What type of snacks and meals do you serve? Do you prepare a weekly menu? Is the facility or home non-smoking? What precautions do you have in an emergency? What documents do I need to submit for my child?

Early relationships and encounters with the world excite babies’ developing brains, influencing how they perceive and react to it. You’ll see various behavioural changes as your baby evolves and learns via these encounters, expanding his or her understanding of the environment. Your infant quickly learns to differentiate between you and everyone else. The major method your infant learns about the environment and how to behave in it is through your and other key caregivers. Additionally, your youngster will pick up a lot about manners from you. What brings joy to your infant The most significant individuals in your baby’s life will become close ties to them. They feel cherished, comfortable, and safe with these folks. It’s likely that your infant will favour one or both of you over everyone else if you or your partner are the primary caregivers. Similarly, your child might favour one toy significantly more than others. Your kid will behave differently if they are playing with their favourite toys or spending time with their favourite people. When your baby is content, they may smile and make contented noises. Even when they see their favourite individuals, your baby may wave or clap their hands. Know What your child is interested in Your baby is curious about lots of things. Because your infant still has a lot to discover about the outside world, this is. In order to learn what things are for, your baby will begin to play with them. For example, you might knock the sugar bowl over and spill your phone on the carpet or drop your phone into the cat’s water bowl. Due to the way that babies prefer to investigate the world, everything will likely wind up in your baby’s mouth as well. In an effort to see what occurs, your baby may also bite, pinch, or pull on your hair. In order to lay the groundwork for teaching your child future appropriate behaviour, it is a good idea to start setting mild restrictions around the age of 6 to 12 months. What elements have an impact on attention span?   Your child’s ability to focus can be affected by a variety of things, such as how they are feeling on any given day, outside influences that are taking their focus away from the activities, and even something as basic as the need to use the restroom or a need for a snack. It’s crucial to assess people’s attention spans when they are relaxed, having a generally good day, and have few significant outside distractions. It’s also crucial to consider how long your child can focus on different scenarios and how their general, daily interactions affect their attention span.  

Children’s attitudes toward the outside world are known as their temperament. Consider your child’s temperament in terms of how much or little they exhibit each of these three characteristics: Reactivity is the intensity with which a youngster responds to something, such as an exciting event or not getting their way. Children that react quickly often have strong feelings. Children’s ability to control their behaviour, including how they express their emotions, is known as self-regulation. It also has to do with how well kids can focus and how persistent they are. Children’s sociability refers to how at ease they are in new situations or with unfamiliar individuals. Children are born with unique temperaments, and when your child was a baby, you probably know how to describe your child’s temperament. Match your upbringing to your child’s temperament You cannot change your child’s temperament. Your child is who they are and that’s great. But you can support your child’s development by adapting your parenting to your child’s temperament. You can help your child develop the positive sides of their temperament. And you can understand the situations that your child finds difficult because of their temperament and help them to deal with these situations. Here are some ideas on how to adapt your parenting to your child’s temperament. Parenting more and less reactive temperaments More reactive If you have a very reactive child, chances are your child gets very excited when something good happens. But your child might also be loud and dramatic when they’re unhappy about something, such as not getting their way. You may need to help your child respond more calmly – for example, by relaxing and using words for angry feelings. Reactive children are also often very physically active and may need a lot of time outdoors. You can support your child in his development, for example by encouraging him to try new sporting activities. But your child may also need help unwinding, so relaxing before bed can be a good idea. Less reactive A less reactive child is usually easy to get along with but may be less assertive. You may need to help your child learn how to stand up for themselves. For example, if you notice situations where your child might be more assertive, you could encourage your child to practice handling those situations differently. It Is also important to ensure that less reactive children are not left out of family discussions. For example: “Harper, you didn’t say much. Are you happy with this film choice?’ Children who are less reactive may also be less physically active. Your less active child will be happiest when they have plenty of opportunities to use their fine motor skills, like crafts or drawing. But maybe you need to encourage physical activity. For example, try a trip to the park to collect leaves for a collage. Or make sure you both walk to the library if you can instead of driving. Parenting more and less self-regulated temperaments Rather self-regulated Children who find it easier to self-regulate are good at remaining calm when they are experiencing emotions such as frustration or excitement. You can calm down more quickly after something exciting or exciting and are less impulsive. A child who Is highly self-regulated may also be better able to manage their attention. For example, they could probably keep going with something until it’s right. They are also good at dealing with setbacks and can handle tasks such as homework without much supervision. But they might be a bit of a perfectionist, so make sure they know it’s okay to make mistakes. Less self-regulated If your child has trouble regulating their attention, they need a lot of encouragement to keep going on difficult tasks. These children can easily switch from one activity to another. They can also be very creative. To help your child focus, you can try rewarding your child or making things fun using games and creative activities. Parenting more and less sociable temperaments Sociable If your child is very social, they will enjoy socializing with other people, having play dates and engaging in group activities. But you don’t need to keep organizing playdates and activities for your child because it’s also important for your child to learn to occupy themselves. Children with a more sociable temperament tend to be very adaptable, too, and cope fairly well with changes in everyday life. It’s great when you can bring lots of new experiences to your adaptable child, but make sure your child still has time with you. Less Sociable If your child isn’t very social, they’re probably pretty good at playing on their own and may not need a lot of help to find something to do. But maybe you need to help this kid make friends. For example, if your child doesn’t feel comfortable in groups or parties, you could try inviting just one or two friends over to a playdate at your home or the park. If your less sociable child is not very adaptable, they will enjoy being on a regular schedule and may not cope well with change. This can make it easier for you to plan things around your child’s daily schedule, but your child may also need help managing changes or transitions.

Self-esteem is defined as feeling good about yourself, believing in yourself, and being aware of your strengths. Children who feel confident in themselves: When things don’t go as planned, try different things and try again. Do activities they might not often find enjoyable or successful at Overcoming obstacles rather than avoiding them. Children learn and develop when they try new things, overcome obstacles, and overcome them again. Because of this, a child’s development can benefit from having high self-esteem. Infants’ self-esteem Babies who are newborns or very young children lack true self-esteem. This is due to the fact that kids do not yet recognise themselves as unique individuals. However, you can still set the groundwork for a strong sense of self-worth by Taking gentle care of your infant Answering your infant’s cries Providing lots of kisses and grins. These kinds of exchanges demonstrate to your infant that they are valued and lovable. Children’s self-esteem Toddlers are beginning to comprehend who they are, what they are capable of, and what makes them who they are. Here are some suggestions for raising your toddler’s self-esteem: Allow your child to make decisions about things that are safe for toddlers, such as which toy to play with or whether to put jam or vegemite on toast.
