Avatar n tn If a child has certain conditions, such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, working memory is often impaired. When you give him directions, be sure he is next to you and that you establish eye contact. Then, have him repeat the directions before he proceeds to execute them.

To get a good picture of the whole area, I would suggest buying this book, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. You can go through a school for testing or find a child specialist. I would probably go the pediatric psychiatrist route.
Avatar m tn I have an 8 year old daughter who just wont stop stealing, it started when she was in kindergarden, she would take other kids food or toys or whatever she could take, and then lie straight to your face as if nothing happend, Ive taken her toys, Ive taken her tv, video games, radio..I have tried everything possible and nothing seems to work. The bad thing about it my husband (yes her father) is a police officer and AGAIN nothing works..
Avatar f tn Ritalin is used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy (an uncontrollable desire to sleep). When given for attention deficit disorder, Ritalin should be an integral part of a total treatment program that includes psychological, educational, and social measures. Ritalin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Avatar f tn Your daughter is three years of age? ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder. ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder. Even though they are both attention disorders, they are quite different. Your daughter is three years old; she is going to be hyper, she is going to have more energy than your whole family combined, just as well as every other three year old out there. I have a three year old of my own which inhibits every behavior you mentioned.
Avatar m tn No one seems to have a perfect story that matches mine. When I play video games for long periods(few hours, 2 or 3.) I get this numbness/tingling on the side of my face. It has gotten worse over the years now with a burning/pressure feeling.... I also get some sort of dizziness/light headedness. I'm very concerned.... In my family seizures from video games is in our genes.. Im very concerened Should I see a doctor??? Btw this has been happening for a few years now...
Avatar f tn So I came down stairs and he was playing on my laptop playing stupid freaking video games. So I asked him if he called and he said yeah they said come anytime today. So I checked his phone... He didn't call at all he hasn't gotten or made a call at all since yesterday! He's always too busy with the damn video games to do what I ask him to do. He won't even lay with me at night because he's up until like 6 playing the stupid computer game!!!
Avatar f tn sailorqun, you have been definitely affected from something so traumatic, the loss of a loved one. Should you want to to talk about it, please consider message me. I might be able to make a small difference in your life, because of what I have been through in my own life and my strong interest and training in Energy Medicine & Therapy. On another note, there's one of the most wonderful doctors I have ever come across in my entire life. He's in BC and his name is Gabor Mate.
Avatar f tn Click on the link - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - at the top of the page and you can get a quick general overview. And if you do go to see a doctor, it certainly wouldn't hurt to run general tests (well, the blood workup will hurt), to rule out other factors. A specialist, like a pediatric psychiatrist, is typically the best way to go. And, yes, all of those things you mentioned are signs of ADHD.
Avatar f tn video games are similar to internet chat. They're both addictive. I've been reading you post and the thing that kept cropping up in my mind was this. Why are you sitting around home waiting on him to do something you want. Grab a girlfriend and go to the movies, create a social circle that improves your life. Amazingly enough, it captures their attention if you're living and they're not.
Avatar n tn I don’t think that her stubborn nature is linked with any neurological disorder here since it could be a normal phenomenon of an ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) child who reacts quite differently in such situation due to poor attention span. Your daughter with ADHD may have attention difficulty, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Therefore, by attention deficit she does not listen to what is said to her.
1472248 tn?1292611095 From the symptoms described this looks to be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rather than anything related to the previous episode of rolandic seizure. ADHD usually presents in early school years. The child can be either primarily inattentive, impulsive, hyperactive or emotionally unstable. The child often doesn’t seem to listen, is easily distracted, cant sit still and is fidgety, has angry outbursts, social loner, becomes very sensitive to criticism.
Avatar n tn We do not believe he is ADD or ADHD but definitely cannot focus on things (except video games etc) Even at home if we give him instructions to do more than one thing he forgets or get side tracked. He continues to not complete tasks or keep up with chores unless we bring it to his attention. We don't know where to go for help. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to examine issues concerning the prescribing of stimulants to school-age children for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD (ADD/ADHD, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The principal drug used for this purpose is methylphenidate, commonly known as "Ritalin.
Avatar f tn wow I totally agree learned alot from this post...as someone dating someone with pre-teen kids they seem to think video games, tv & tablets are completely ok for a child's leisure time (5+ hours a day). I like the suggestions for video games or coding games that can provide critical thinking & growth a field that can be useful later in life & hopefully develop a healthy passion for technology which of course encourages school now & future education.
