Add is attention deficit disorder. The core symptom is very easy to be distracted, impulsive and unable to calm down. I sorted out why people are distracted_ The reasons for inattention are welcome for reference.
Why do people lose concentration
(1) genetic or congenital factors, such as malnutrition (calcium deficiency, anemia), emotional tension, forced fetal care, insufficient activity and incorrect fetal position during pregnancy, make the fetus out of balance due to the contradiction between the gravity of the magnetic field; If the way a child is born is Caesarean section, dystocia, premature birth, etc., it is also easy to lead to their inattention when they grow up.
(2) due to the development characteristics of children's attention level. We know that children of different ages have different levels of attention. Inattention and easy distraction are common to all preschool children. The younger the age, the shorter the time to control attention. The concentration of children's attention will increase with age, but each child is an independent individual, and the degree of development is naturally different. Some children will be faster and some children will be slower.
(3) poor attention transfer ability. Due to age, children's ability of attention transfer has not been developed, which is also an important reason for children's distraction. They often can't focus on what they should pay attention to in time according to their needs. For example, if a thing has too much activity and strong stimulation, which makes children too excited, it is difficult for them to turn their attention to the later activities, which is easy to cause distraction.
(4) sensory integration disorder. Because of planting There are three reasons. Now more and more people choose caesarean section to have children, but they don't know that caesarean section will cause the development of children's cerebellum to lag. The cerebellum is mainly responsible for the coordination of physical movement. Studies have found that children born by caesarean section often have sensory dysfunction, while most children with sensory integration disorders have the problem of inattention.
(5) fatigue caused by insufficient sleep. The tolerance of the child's nervous system is still relatively poor. Being in a state of tension or engaging in a monotonous activity for a long time will cause fatigue. Younger children need enough sleep. If they watch TV and play for a long time, the child will sleep too late, resulting in insufficient sleep, and it will be difficult for the child to concentrate the next day.
(6) excessive or insufficient intake of some trace elements. For example, the lead content of some domestic pencils is four times that of international standards. Children's long-term use of these unqualified items will cause metabolic disorders, loss of balance of cerebral cortex activities and other problems. Lead poisoning will cause children's irritability, aggression, retardation and dyskinesia; Too little zinc intake will cause hyperactivity and inattention; The artificial additives in the video are easy to cause hyperactivity and emotional sensitivity of children.
(7) physiological diseases. Some brain functional defects can also cause inattention. Among them, ADHD, also known as attention deficit disorder (add), is the most typical. It is a common disease in childhood. These children are very energetic, almost non-stop for a moment, and any stimulation will attract their attention; Although they also have interests and hobbies, they can't concentrate on the business they are interested in; The behavior is impulsive and can not delay the satisfaction of needs; Don't follow the rules like others and can't wait; Disobeying the instructions of parents or teachers, failing to abide by discipline and poor principle; Work efficiency is very low. For tasks that others can complete in an hour, they have to delay to 3 ~ 4 hours About 1 / 3 of children with ADHD will continue to adulthood, and will bring sequelae, such as personality problems.
Causes of inattention
(1) the uncertainty of the task assigned to the child. Some parents arrange some tasks for their children. When their children complete these tasks, they add new tasks Children are bored with what they have to do. They don't know when to complete the tasks given by adults. They are always in a passive and half hearted state. Often, this will lead to the problem of children's inattention.
(2) parents put too much pressure on their children. Parents place their hopes on their children. They have formulated strict requirements since their children went to kindergarten, and put too high expectations on them, which has caused great psychological pressure on their children. Under such pressure for a long time, children always worry about whether what they do satisfies their parents. If they are not satisfied, will they be severely criticized In this way, it is difficult for children to let go of their investment and do things. Naturally, it is difficult to concentrate.
(3) not forming good habits. Developing children's attention should begin before school age. Some children watch TV while playing with toys, or read while eating In this way, when playing with toys, you don't care about watching TV, watching TV, playing with toys, eating, reading and eating It causes children to always think about another thing when doing one thing. How can they concentrate? Some parents ignore the cultivation of preschool children's attention, which makes it difficult for these children to adapt to the formal learning of the school after they go to primary school. It is manifested in inattention in class and procrastination in doing homework, which seriously affects the improvement of academic performance.
(4) excessive stimulation. One parent reported that his child didn't even pay attention to play. He wondered if he had ADHD? Generally, children are very interested in playing. It's understandable that other children don't pay attention. The child doesn't even pay attention to playing. It seems that there is a problem. I then asked him to talk about the specific situation. At this time, I finally understood why the little guy didn't pay attention when playing - he had a room full of toys! We know that children's attention is short-term and single. There are a room full of attractive toys. Which do you want children to pay attention to? Children must look at this and touch that. The last complete work will not be completed. In this over stimulated environment, it's strange that he can concentrate.
(5) watch TV and play games too much. When an individual indulges in some narrow things or the scope of consciousness, the scope of attention will be reduced accordingly, which will lead to the decline of attention to other things. For example, watching TV is characterized by lively pictures. Children are used to being lively. When they arrive in kindergarten, they are not used to listening to the teacher quietly. TV content for children is completely passive learning, no thinking, no interaction, which is not conducive to the cultivation of creative thinking, and the language is easy to lag. Scientists in the United States have found that the more children watch TV in early childhood, the greater the proportion of inattention when they grow up.
(6) too much interference with children. Take this as an example: when a child plays with toys alone, you find that he is solving problems in a stupid way. Will you help him? The answer is "yes", right? Recall that in the past, how many times did you take the initiative to help your children? If you are proud to say that you are such a helpful parent, I'm sorry to tell you that if your child's inattention is caused by you, even if the child has not shown the problem of inattention, there is a great hidden danger of causing the child's inattention. Maybe you don't understand. How can helping children cause children's inattention? So please put yourself in another position and think about it. If your boss always comes to give directions from time to time when you are engaged in a job, what's your mood? The survey found that when children play or study, parents sometimes send water, food and what children are doing when their children don't take the initiative to ask for help Nine times out of ten, this will cause the child's inattention.
(7) excessive care for children. Parents dote on their children and do everything for them. Over time, the child will have a serious dependence psychology and don't want to do anything by himself. As long as it is something that needs hands and brains, he will be lazy to do. Laziness directly affects children's attention. Many times, concentration requires willpower to complete. For example, when you do a job you are not interested in, you can concentrate on completing the task under the action of willpower. And a person who is too lazy to do anything by himself must have no willpower. Without willpower, it is difficult to cultivate lasting attention.
(8) often negate children's behavior. Always use negative language to children, which will play a negative reinforcing role. For example, children are more active and lack of concentration. When parents meet people, they say that our children are good at everything, but they don't pay attention At first, the child will be unhappy and think you are wrong, but if you keep telling others like this, he will begin to doubt whether he is really inattentive. Over time, such language has caused the child's identity psychology, and he will think he is a child with inattentive attention. Once the child forms such psychology, it is more difficult to change.
(9) the environment is also important for children's attention. Children focus on unintentional attention. All novel and changeable things can attract their attention and interfere with their ongoing activities. Younger children's rooms are brightly colored and adults often talk to them, which will contribute to the development of children's visual and auditory perception. But when children need to concentrate, such a room design is obviously inappropriate. If the children's activity room is too noisy, there are too many messy things, and the colors are too rich These irrelevant stimuli may lead to the child's inability to concentrate.
