Higher Academic demands on young children increase the risk of  developing Attention Deficit Hyper activity Disorder. ADHD is caused by lack of extra curricular activities like playing and other leisure activities.

What do you suggest in order to overcome this disorder ?

Good article. I agree high stress more on studies can lead to ADHD as children are getting less involved into other outdoor activities any more. 

Lack of extra curricular activities can be one of the risk factor for ADHD. Many children do suffer from ADHD even though they are extracurricular children, so it depends on other factors as well. 

Other factors are beginning Kindergarten a year early, doubles the chances that a child will need medications for behavioral issues,. Further, children should take part in learning activities  that are developmentally age appropriate.

Read the article. Informative definitely. ADHD can be cured by Psychotherapy too. many psycho social inventions such as Parent training and behavioral modifications have been used for children with ADHD.

Vert true. Some parents think that their children will be happy and remain silent for some time so that the parents can view TV peacefully. Parents should know that the gadgets like Mobiles cause ADHD.

In these day most of children are spending their day and night in their room, I think they don't know about full moon night and no moon night. Mobile and computer making mentaly ill to children but  also phyically unhealthy.

Of course, what you said is right. Spending more time before the TV and Computer will cause a lot of health hazards even for elders. In case of children the influence of these gadgets will be much more. What to talk of children ? It's the responsibility of the parents to be aware of these facts and save themselves and their children.

 Yes I completely agree. Children are more involved in indoor activities that outdoor  ones. The technology has changed the complete outlook of importance of physical activites. Just 10  years back, there was no smartphone or such devices, kids use to play in open air and explore themselves to the environment. Now everything has changed.

 

There are plenty of adults young and old spending all their waking hours in front of the computer, either due to work or browsing the net or busy in forum s... wonder whether they too have such symptoms.

Adults too can get ADHD. In the case of children, the symptoms of ADHD are quite visible. But the symptoms in adults are quite subtle. This means  many adults struggle with ADHD. Adults, in many cases do not know they have ADHD. The reasons for adult ADHD are may or may not be the reasons like spending more time before the Computer. But here are some of the reasons for adult ADHD.

A history of not doing well in school and under achieving, gotten in a lot of trouble, had to report a grade, dropped out of school etc.

 

Wel, I do agree this ADHD problem will surely occur and may already occurred in present children who always stressed with studies by parents and school teachers. The life of children has become in such a way that wherever they go only study. The best time for them to enjoy is till 2 years of their age. as now a days parents are making them start studies from 2 and half years. They say its prep and then in third year nursery. then the serious studies starts and this ends at 25 age. Till then they will be full of stress of studying and reaching their goals. Early morning parents make their wake around 4'oclock and force them study and then again around 8 they goto school and there again teachers make them study and after coming home parents send them to tutions again there in tution children study. may be around 8 they come home. again parents make them study and then 10 will be the time and then they go to bed. so place for refreshment and games. This is really horrible i feel. Parents should take care of their children not only in studies but also about their children refreshment by making them play or sending out to play for better relaxant etc. If we continuously make children study then they get bored of and at such situation the children will get ADHD problems.

Researchers say, increased academic activities  since 1970s have contributed in a big way to the rise in diagnosis of ADHD. So, its no surprise  that along with the increased academic activities, time for playing and leisure decreased, resulting in some children being seen as outliers and ultimately being diagnosed with ADHD.
