Hyperactive Chatterbox - How One Teacher Recognizes the Symptoms of ADHD in Child Problems

When you teach classrooms of children over the years, it can become easy to recognize ADHD child symptoms. When I speak at schools I always invite a teacher who has experience dealing with ADHD children to share their tips. 

Here's one teacher's feedback on recognizing troublesome symptoms. If your child has ADHD, you can help your child deal with the problems by changing your child's environment and adding homeopathic remedies to prevent, heal, recover, and control the condition.

One 3rd Grade Teacher's Experience.

I've had several situations that I've noticed symptoms of ADHD in child problems as a result of seeing and interacting with my students during the school year. Probably the most well-known symptom of any type of ADHD is hyperactivity; the child can't sit still or is constantly fidgeting or moving around. This is one of the umbrella symptoms of ADHD, but there are many other specific symptoms that children can show.

I've had experience with symptoms of ADHD in child problems as a result of daily interaction with these kids in the classroom. Individually, many of the symptoms don't cause problems, but when they're combined with others, it makes you think ADHD may be at work.

Some of the symptoms of the Hyperactive/Impulsive type of ADHD include nonstop chatter, always moving or fidgeting, and has difficulty working on quiet activities. When I notice these symptoms, my first thought is that the child is simply restless. However, if the extreme restlessness continues, I start watching out for other symptoms.

I worked with a student I'll call Justin, for example, who had these symptoms of extreme restlessness. I would correct his behavior as I needed to, but I started to notice a few other things that made me think of common ADHD child symptoms. Justin had a tendency, for example, to be very impatient. 

Even though he had trouble working on quiet activities, he didn't like to wait for instructions before beginning a task. Justin also didn't think about the consequences of his actions. Even though he knew he needed to stay in his seat during certain activities, he would get up and walk around the classroom, not thinking about getting in trouble as a result.

Justin was very emotional. When he did get in trouble, he became very upset and angry, even throwing a temper tantrum if he didn't get his way.

Another student I worked with, who I'll call Caitlyn, also had symptoms of extreme restlessness. However, her other symptoms included things like not being able to wait for her turn in games, interrupting conversations, interrupting class activities, and blurting out comments at inappropriate times. She was always a chatterbox, but some of her interruptions almost seemed like she couldn't control herself and simply had to talk.

If you start to notice symptoms of ADHD in child, there are things you can do to help. One key is to learn to talk to the child in the way that child learns best. Justin could do basic classroom tasks, but I had to give him things to do one at a time. If he had more than one thing to focus on at a time, he got very distracted. Another way to help is to set up clear consequences for specific actions and stick to them. Finally, there are homeopathic remedies that can help your child. Many doctors push artificial medications when symptoms of ADHD in child arise, but homeopathic remedies may be a better solution.

So there are some tips on recognizing ADHD child symptoms and dealing with the situation. You need to do what's best for your child. The first step is to recognize the ADHD child symptoms, like the ones demonstrated by Caitlyn and Justin, and then work with your child to make sure he or she can be happy, healthy, and successful. 

There is a animo away from treating kids with drugs that carry a lot of negative overhead. Therapists are having success adding a gentle homeopathic remedy to an ADHD child's diet to help him control his less desirable ADHD child symptoms. Your child can benefit from these same remedies.
