UNDERSTANDING ADHD IN CHILDREN. NOT LAZY, NOT CARELESS.

Описание: Aginora’s Story | Understanding ADHD in Children

Aginora is a beautiful and intelligent girl with a bright spirit and a curious mind. From as early as kindergarten, she often lost her stationeries, school uniform, and books at school. At first, it seemed like simple forgetfulness. Thankfully, her kindergarten teacher patiently helped trace and recover the missing items, ensuring Aginora never felt ashamed or punished.

As Aginora grew, the pattern continued. Concerned and caring adults stepped in, and she was assessed across different environments
at school, at home, and during therapy sessions. Through these observations, Aginora was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain manages attention, impulses, and activity levels. It is not a sign of low intelligence or laziness. In fact, many children with ADHD are highly creative, intelligent, and emotionally sensitive
just like Aginora.

The Three Forms of ADHD Explained:
1. Predominantly Inattentive Type
Children with this type often struggle with focus, organization, and memory. They may frequently lose items, forget instructions, appear dreamy, or have difficulty completing tasks. This is sometimes mistaken for carelessness, but it is actually how their brain processes information.
2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
This form is marked by excessive movement and impulsive behavior. Children may find it hard to sit still, talk excessively, interrupt others, or act without thinking about consequences.
3. Combined Type
This is the most common form and includes symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Children may struggle with focus and organization while also being highly active and impulsive.

Aginora’s story reminds us of the importance of early assessment, understanding, and support. With the right guidance at home, school, and in therapy, children with ADHD can thrive, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

Awareness creates compassion. Understanding creates change.
