Maybe … we don’t always have to jump in on ‘fixing’ our children.

“How do we change this?”
‘How do we help him improve?’
‘What can we do?’

These are commonly asked questions by parents.
When worry and concern kick in, it’s normal to feel like we need to do something to change things.
Let’s learn to be more aware of our own anxieties, and how it affects our children.

Accept that everyone has limitations and normalize expectations. Instead of getting too preoccupied with ‘fixing’ problems, help them to make use of their strengths to cope with struggles.
Acknowledge successes, be it small or big.
Validate efforts, focus on positives instead of just their shortcomings.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is to meet our children on the same page.
Follow their pace instead of rushing to ‘fix’ and pulling them forward.
Maybe … sometimes they don’t urgently need solutions, but simply just being supported, understood and acknowledged.

也许，我们并不需要急着去“改正”我们的孩子。

“我们该怎么改变这一切？”
“我们要怎样帮助他进步？”
“我们还能做些什么？”

这些都是许多父母经常会问的问题。
当担心和焦虑涌上心头时，我们很容易觉得自己必须马上做些什么，才能让情况变得更好。但也许，我们首先需要觉察的，是自己的焦虑，以及它如何影响孩子。

每个孩子都有自己的长处，也有自己的局限。与其一味专注于“改正”他们，不如教导他们运用自己的强项和优势去处理问题。
每一个进步，无论大小，都值得被看见和庆祝。
肯定孩子的努力；多关注他们做得到、做得好的地方，而不是只盯着他们的不足。

有时候，我们能给予孩子最好的帮助，就是与他们站在同一页。
陪伴他们，跟随他们的步伐，而不是急着把他们推向我们认为应该到达的地方。
因为很多时候，孩子真正需要的，或许不是解决方案，而是简单的陪伴、理解与肯定。

Is My Child LAZY… or Could It Be ADHD?

Today is International ADHD Awareness Day.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects attention, impulse control, activity level, and emotional regulation.

Common Misconceptions About ADHD
1. "My child is just lazy, naughty, or difficult."
If a child's learning or behavioural difficulties persist or worsen over time despite appropriate support and guidance, there may be an underlying condition rather than simply poor behaviour or lack of effort.

2. "They will grow out of it."
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder and there is no known cure available at present. Without recognition and intervention, children may be at greater risk of developing mood problems such as anxiety, affected self-confidence, or emotional dysregulation.

3. "We all grew up like this. Children just need to learn to cope."
ADHD symptoms exist on a spectrum, ranging from mild to severe. Even children with milder symptoms may experience ongoing challenges in learning, relationships, emotional well-being, and daily functioning if their difficulties are not recognised and appropriately supported.

4. "All young children are hyperactive."
ADHD is much more than simply being physically active. Many children with ADHD have difficulties with emotional regulation and impulse control, which contributes to not just physical hyperactivity, but also poor impulse control, behavioural challenges, and emotional outbursts.

5. "ADHD only affects boys."
Girls can also have ADHD, although their symptoms may present differently. Having ADHD does not mean only being physically hyperactive. Girls with ADHD may instead show more symptoms or emotional dysregulation. As a result, girls are frequently diagnosed later than boys.

Early recognition makes a difference. Children can better understand their strengths and challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve their full potential.



我的孩子是懒惰，还是患有 ADHD？

今天是国际 ADHD 宣导日。
ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）是一种常见的神经发育障碍，会影响孩子的注意力、冲动控制、活动量及情绪调节能力。

关于 ADHD 的五大常见误解
1. “我的孩子只是懒惰、调皮，或故意不听话。”
如果孩子的学习或行为问题在大家给予支持和引导后，仍然持续存在或越来越严重，应考虑是否存在 ADHD 或其他潜在的发展问题，而不仅仅是“懒惰”或“顽皮”。

2. “长大后自然就会好。”
ADHD 是一种神经发育障碍，目前尚无根治方法。若未及早发现/接受适当的支持，随着年龄增长，孩子可能出现更多困难，特别情绪上的问题（例：焦虑、情绪调节困难及自信心受影响等）。

3. “我们小时候也是这样长大的，这只是成长过程的一部分。”
ADHD 的症状具有不同严重程度，可分为轻度、中度及重度。即使症状较轻，也可能随着成长对学习、社交、人际关系及日常生活造成持续影响。

4. “所有小孩子都是好动的。”
一般儿童活泼好动属于正常发展的一部分；然而，ADHD 的多动行为往往与情绪调节能力不足有关。因此，孩子可能出现过动、冲动行事、行为问题或情绪问题等情况。

5. “ADHD 只会发生在男孩子身上。”
女孩同样可能患有 ADHD，只是表现出来的症状可能不同。有ADHD并不代表一定只呈现行为过动的症状。女孩往往在较大的年龄才获得诊断；相较之下，情绪调节困难可能更为突出。

及早发现，及早介入，有助于孩子更了解自己，学习有效的应对策略，并发挥个人潜能。
