Rohit was a eleven year old, active but
happy and playful child. Suddenly, he started facing problems in
concentrating in class or completing the work at hand. In spite of being
naughty and active he would complete his studies and tasks and hand,
but now he was even facing difficulty in completing his home work. He
would not jot down the writing on the black board, routinely forget
things in school or stare in infinity. He’d make silly mistakes in math
and spellings. He portrayed neutral expression on his face whenever his
teachers or parents told him something. No wonder then that the grades
sank from A to C.
The one great thing that Amir Khan has
done is to make a film like ‘Tare Zameen Par’ which was an eye-opener
for many parents. This has brought about some awareness among parents.
Rohit’s parents brought him for homeopathic treatment and with
counseling and treatment, he was cured within 7 to 8 months.
There is considerable difference between
simple Hyperkinesia and ADHD. Around 3 to 5% of school going children
are afflicted with it. When such children are not treated in time, they
may be labeled as laggards or dumb and result in being gradually
isolated from mainstream. This is a neurological behavioral disorder
which becomes evident from age 8 and above. Attention Deficit implies
threefold problems- lack of concentration, restless behavior and
impassivity. Children learn to concentrate and work between the age of 3
to 5. In some cases, they learn it at first but then it all goes for a
toss. These children become dim-witted, are unable to understand with
repeated instructions, keep their things at various places or just
forget them. Frequent dangling of hands and legs, shrugging shoulders,
impulsively moving from one place to the other, moving about in class
are some of the things that they do. They feel that things are happening
all at once and too fast and are unable to comprehend what’s happening.
This frightens and confuses them. They are unable to assess what the
other person is thinking and hence keep making mistakes. They even get
hit at times and get to hear an earful.
Reasons: This disorder is a result of
the defect in the cerebrospinal fluid. It is commonly seen in epileptic
children and is also hereditary. It can also result due to domestic
friction and continuous stress. Parental discord, continuous fights,
familial differences all create a tumultuous situation in a child’s
life. A few smart kids, in order to seek the attention of their parents,
pretend to do such things. Since the time the movie has brought about
an awareness in our parents, our kids have smartened up too!
Treatment: Such children can perform
exemplary well when given timely treatment and counseling. The current
Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps who won 8 Gold medals, also
faced ADHD. His school had long given up on him. It was his mother’s
untiring efforts that has brought him to where he is today. Homeopathy
has numerous medicines for such children. Parents and homeopathic
doctors can consciously shape the lives of these children with concerted
efforts. Flower therapy enables control over emotions. Children
suffering from ADHD grow up to become great musicians, journalists,
sports persons or actors. All it needs is the right guidance and
counseling
