Dear Mr Munir, delayed crying at the time of birth could result in delayed milestones. The reason being it could result in loss of oxygen to brain during that time and also could permanently damage a part of it.The advantage of approaching a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist is that they can assess the damage done and suggest suitable remedies.Sometimes the damage is irreparable and the child may remain slow learner throughout his life or what is known as mentally retarded in common parlance. In that case, he has to go to a special school which has special educators because he will not be able to cope in normal schools. The advantage of visiting a clinical psychologist is that they will do the relevant tests and assess the child. In your case, it might not be that bad but atleast you will rule out the possibility and will be able to help him at the right time. ADHD children have symptons like : Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another Have difficulty maintaining focus on one task Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something enjoyable Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new or trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities Not seem to listen when spoken to Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others Struggle to follow instructions. ope this has answered your query.
