Attention Deficit Disorder Symptoms - The major ADD symptoms you need to look out for -Part 3 & 4

Attention Deficit Disorder Symptoms - The major ADD symptoms you need to look out for -Part 3 & 4

The third major symptom of Attention-Deficit-Disorder or Attention-Deficit-Hyperactive-Disorder is Impulsiveness.

The ADD/ADHD child or adult is very impulsive, often acting without thinking. This frequently lands them into all sorts of trouble. They have no regard for the consequences of their misbehavior, making this type of child especially difficult to discipline. They forget repeated warnings and even punishments for certain behavior and repeat them again.

A child with ADD requires special discipline, because conventional methods don't work for them. In later blog posts I will be sharing some effective parenting strategies.

The last Tell-tale clue is lack of follow through. People with ADD/ADHD are famous for leaving a string of uncompleted tasks in their wake. They may start dozens of projects and tasks but rarely complete any of them. The reason for this is that their brain cannot stay focused on one task for long and as their thoughts flit from one thing to the next, they follow.

This lack of follow through can prove to be a great handicap in adult life and needs to be remedied as soon as possible.

One of the best solutions to this is to increase the brain' s ability to focus and to increase the impulse control. One of the best & easiest ways to do this is brainwave entrainment.
Brainwave Entrainment literally re-programs the brain to function in a more effective and efficient manner and regular use can dramatically reduce ADD symptoms.

The second major symptom of Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder that you need to look out for is hyperactivity. Hyperactivity is an inability to sit still for any length of time. All children find it hard to sit still for long periods of time. ADD kids, however, cannot sit still for even a few minutes.

This child is always on the go, running, climbing, jumping. Even when they are confined to a small space or forced to remain seated they fidget and squirm. Foot tapping, scratching, shifting to and fro in the chair etc are common behaviors.

If your child is always on the go like an Energizer Bunny it's highly likely that he may have ADD or ADHD.
