At Pediatricz Now, we know that ADHD can make life tough for kids and their families. ADHD affects how a child’s brain works, making it hard for them to focus, control impulses, and manage their energy levels. Kids with ADHD might struggle to sit still, finish tasks, or follow directions. They might also act without thinking or interrupt others often.
Our team of pediatricians is here to help children with ADHD succeed by giving them care that fits their unique needs. We understand that ADHD can affect school performance, friendships, and family life.
We believe it’s important to spot ADHD early. To do this, we:
Watch how your child develops and behaves
Look at their health history
Do a physical check-up
Use special ADHD screening tools
Talk to parents and teachers about the child’s behavior
Work with other experts like psychologists when needed
This thorough process helps us understand what your child needs and make sure we have the right diagnosis. Remember, many kids are active or distracted sometimes, but children with ADHD show these behaviors more often and in different settings.
After we diagnose ADHD, we work with you to create a treatment plan just for your child. Our approach might include:
Carefully managing and adjusting medications like stimulants or non-stimulants
Teaching your child ways to cope with ADHD, such as using schedules and breaking tasks into smaller steps
Counseling to help with social skills, emotions, and self-esteem
Showing parents how to help their child at home, including setting up routines and using positive reinforcement
Connecting you with other services that can help, like special tutoring, occupational therapy, or social skills groups
Suggesting changes at home and school, like having a quiet homework space or using fidget tools
We know that treating ADHD is an ongoing process. We’ll check in with your child regularly to see how they’re doing and change the plan if needed. This might mean trying new strategies or adding different types of support. We can also work with schools and others who care for your child to make sure everyone is on the same page and using consistent strategies.
