Frequently Asked Questions

What are the early signs of ADHD in children?
Early signs of ADHD in children can be challenging to distinguish from normal toddler behaviour. Key indicators include persistent issues with inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Children may have trouble focusing, following instructions, frequently losing things, daydreaming and be easily distracted. Hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms include excessive fidgeting, talking excessively, acting impulsively, difficulty waiting for turns and strong emotional outbursts. It’s important to consider age-appropriate behaviour and its impact on daily life. Not all symptoms may be present in every child. If these behaviours significantly disrupt daily life, consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and early intervention.
Educate yourself using reliable sources like AACAP or CHADD. Observe and document your child’s behaviours, noting frequency and severity. Discuss concerns with your child’s teacher for additional insights. Schedule an appointment with a paediatrician for a preliminary evaluation and possible referral to a specialist. Prepare for the evaluation by being ready to discuss your child’s development, behaviour patterns, and family history.
Strategies for managing an ADHD child at home include establishing a consistent routine, creating a quiet, organised study space, and using visual schedules. Break tasks into smaller steps and use timers to manage time. Provide clear and concise instructions, and use positive reinforcement to encourage good behaviour. Encourage physical activity to help manage excess energy, and ensure regular breaks during tasks. Communicate openly and maintain a calm, supportive environment.

I really appreciated that Andy took time to personalise the content. My role requires me to deliver a lot of customer service via email and telephone, so he made an effort to include content and examples that were applicable to my role.
