without the blessings of the Lord. "Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there for you, whom if his ask for bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matthew 7: 7-11) Seek appropriate council. Learn what the child needs physically and spiritually and pray for deliverance.
Scientific research and data suggests that ADD may be genetically transmitted in some cases. There is evidence linking attention deficit disorder to chemical imbalances in the brain. Deficiency in certain neurotransmitters may also be to blame. For a long time scientists, doctors, and mental health professionals considered ADD to be one specific disorder but with variations from person to person. But research determined that wasn't appropriate because some children display certain aspects of the disorder but not others. Now, ADD is divided into three subtypes: predominately combined type, predominately inattentive type, and predominately hyperactive-impulsive type. For each attention deficit disorder subtype, there are dominant main features or characteristics. These subtypes were developed because some children may not have any problem controlling behavior or with sitting still, but are inattentive. Other children may remain attentive, but they lose focus due to being hyperactive-impulsive.
According to one website, combined type is the most prevalent type of attention deficit disorder. Diagnosis of ADD can be complicated because like most mental health concerns there is no standard blood test or other medical formula to use. First, the doctor will thoroughly review the child's medical history. Then the doctor will perform a complete medical examination to rule out obvious physical reasons for the child's behavior. The diagnosis process will include interviews with the child, his or her parents, and teachers. Observations and behavioral ratings by teachers and parents will be considered. Finally, a variety of psychological tests will be performed. These tests measure the child's I.Q., social and emotional health, and determine the presence of any learning disability. A child with inattentive type will show signs of inattention and being easily distracted, which are two different problems. A child is distractible, if their attention process is easily disrupted. Signs to look out for are failure to pay attention to detail or making careless mistakes. Also, the child may not appear to listen, even when spoken to directly. The inability to follow basic instructions or to get and remain organized can also be indications of a serious problem. The child may avoid any work that involves mental effort. These are just a few of the signs of the inattentive subtype. For a complete list consult an attention deficit disorder website or mental health professional.
Visible signs of the hyperactive subtype include fidgeting with hands or feet. Also, the child may squirm when required to sit for periods of time. Hyperactive children may leave their seat or run and climb at inappropriate times. These children may seem to be on the go or talk excessively. Difficulty awaiting their turn or interrupting and intruding on others are signs of impulsivity. Keep in mind, almost every child will exhibit some or all of these behaviors at one time or another. So don't automatically assume the child has attention deficit disorder. If a child is diagnosed with ADD, the course of treatment is fairly standard. Treatment usually includes medication. Stimulants such as Ritalin and Dexedrine are often used. Both work to decrease hyperactivity and impulsivity while increasing attentiveness. According to ADD experts, educating parents and managing the child's classroom environment are important components of the treatment plan. Behavioral therapy is beneficial. Perhaps the most important part of the treatment program is understanding and support from parents, family, and teachers.
