ADHD, an acronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neuro developmental disorder affecting approximately 5% of the population.
Children having ADHD often face trouble with sustained attention, which inhibits their impulses and motor control. It means that they often appear hyperactive, act without thinking, and seem to lack attention.
Attention & Concentration- Children with ADHD frequently show symptoms of inattentiveness. They face difficulties with attention and concentration that leads to the child’s poor academic potential. With the help of hands-on approaches like art, music and play therapy psychotherapists help a child become more focused.
Organization skills learning- Studies showed that ADHD makes children as well as adolescents struggle with organization, time management and also planning skills. But psychotherapists use effective techniques and strategies that improve various problem areas including organization skills and impulse control.
Self-regulation and Emotional regulation- Psychotherapy can identify a child’s negative emotions and behavior pattern. With the right therapy, they can overcome negativity and find strength to focus on the good things. Whether it is extreme emotional outbursts or destructive behavior, psychotherapists can teach a child a positive coping mechanism replacing those emotions.
With ADHD, every child responds differently. Some methods may suit a child and they may show fast improvement. But those same methods may not work for another child. At Kick Start we conduct both group as well as 1:1 sessions to properly understand a child’s strengths and weaknesses.
Not just your child, but at Kick Start we help parents to understand the child’s requirements and behavior pattern better.
