Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is different I have been trying to find help for him I thank he may be A.D.H.D OR ADD. The schools are not helping and the doctors keep telling me he is to young he's now 6years old and he is be hind all the other kids he dose not no how to spell his name or count to 5 and he dose not no his colors. he dose not like to sit steal for more the 10 seconds and he dose not like sharing anything with any one you touch his stuff he gets really mad. If I ask him to help pick up his room he says ok but the shortly after I go in his room and he's still sitting in the same spot as he was when I asked him to do something like he didn't hear me or he for got or he just dose not want to listen but if I discipline him for not doing what I told him to do he acts like he did nothing wrong and feels like im disciplining him for nothing. he Denys doing anything wrong. how do I get him help ?
According to guildeline for ADHD, there is no need to give medicine like methylphenidate before age of 6yrs. If your are facing problems then u can try non pharmacological management like ask him to color a diagram, put bead in a thread etc. Choose the activity which he would like. with time he would improve. There is nothing to worry about it. Rest u can discuss with ur psychiatrist.
