The developmental part explains that it is with you starting when you're young and tends to stay with you over time. She explains what five things an expert would look for when diagnosing a child with ADHD. While these symptoms sound like things that every child has, which is correct, we do all have these symptoms to a degree, children with ADHD will experience these symptoms to a higher degree than most other children their age. There are a lot of things that experts are able to notice inside the brains of children with ADHD, allowing them to diagnose it. ]]> 2020-11-12 19:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918235106 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918255787 In this video, Megan Slater informs the audience that 90% of kids inherit ADHD from their parents, while 10% of kids get ADHD from a traumatic brain injury or illness that they had as a child. She explains how ADHD is when the frontal lobe of someones brain doesn't develop as rapidly as others and this can stay with them until they are 30 years of age. Children with ADHD have a hard time planning, a hard time making decisions, and have a hard time learning from mistakes. These kids are also prone to take part in risk-taking behaviors in order to replace their dopamine, as it is diminished.]]> 2020-11-12 19:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918255787 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918305823 During this video, Dr. Paul explains how there are some behavioral things adults can do in order to make a huge difference. He draws a graph including control and maturity to help the audience understand where parents should be in helping their kids with ADHD. He goes into depth with the chart by explaining the different stages of these two components, immature-mature and having no control-having total self control. By understanding where your child is in that continuum, this will determine what parents need to do to give their child the correct help. He also explains the practical approach to parenting them in four steps, which include 1. "Giving them a task" 2. "You hope that they blow it" 3. "Allow the consequences to do the teaching" and 4. "Giving the same task again". Dr. Paul thoroughly explained helpful parenting strategies for children with ADHD in this video. ]]> 2020-11-12 20:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918305823 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918372552 While learning Jacob's story, we learned that Jacob had tendencies that were different from other kids his age. When Jacob was five, he was diagnosed with autism. They noticed certain things about Jacob such as he had illegible writing, he wasn't able to tie his shoe and getting dressed that he wasn't able to do. Also, Jacob started falling behind academically. However, when they met with Dr. Katz, he didn't think that he had autism which is when he was diagnosed with ADHD. Jacob, was put on medication, which totally changed his life. Now, he is totally capable of things that he wasn't before, like taking care of himself. They were amazed with the change. ]]> 2020-11-12 20:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/918372552 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923292101 In this video, Dr. Brown explains that treatment is the most effective way for dealing with the struggles that come with ADHD.  He explains how important it is that the prescriber really discusses the appropriate and necessary dose with the child and the child's parents and to check in while the child is using it. He also informs the audience that there are two primary treatments for ADHD, which are behavior therapy and medication. ]]> 2020-11-14 20:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923292101 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923298477 This video explains how the brains of children with ADHD process things much differently than those without, which is why they need some different parenting. We are able to understand that kids with ADHD have a 30% lag in their ability to self regulate. It may look like kids with ADHD are just not listening and not following their regular routine, while in reality it is just very hard for them to have consistent behavior, which is where sticking with the parenting is key, even when it might be difficult. Adults must think ahead, give their children more feedback, and motivate them with rewards. ]]> 2020-11-14 20:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923298477 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923310849 In this video, Ahmad Almai explains how children with ADHD have trouble socially, as they cannot sit still in class and tend to be disruptive, and if left untreated it can cause problems leading up to suspension and expulsion from school. Also, he explains how important it is for the family to provide extra help with schoolwork.]]> 2020-11-14 20:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923310849 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923317949 ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In this video, the audience learns that ADHD affects millions of children. This video was an informative video about the general idea of ADHD in children. It goes over the different types of ADHD, the symptoms, causes, treatments, preventions, and how important it is to speak to your doctor about any concerns. ]]> 2020-11-14 20:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923317949 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923325804 In this video, two children, the age of 6, are interviewed and asked the same questions. However, one of these kids has ADHD, while the other does not. The girl with ADHD explains how she does not like school, it takes her a somewhat longer time to complete homework, she also doesn't have much self esteem. However, the boy without ADHD explains how he really enjoys school, it takes him a short amount of time to do homework, and he doesn't see anything wrong with himself and loves everything about himself. ]]> 2020-11-14 20:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923325804 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923351115 Here, Dr. Edward Hallowell says that one of the best ways and his favorite way is to say to a kid that they have a great brain, a brain like a race car, but they have bicycle brakes and he explains that he is a brake specialist and they will strengthen their brakes together. Then kids buy into it enthusiastically and think I have a race car and need to strengthen my breaks rather than thinking that they have some bad deficit disorder that must get treated.]]> 2020-11-14 21:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923351115 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923648932 2020-11-15 04:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923648932 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923650263 2020-11-15 04:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923650263 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923650784 2020-11-15 04:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923650784 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923653135 2020-11-15 04:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923653135 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923656711 2020-11-15 04:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/923656711 23alvarezj4_1 https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/936544830 I chose this topic because I was aware of how many kids ADHD effects. I knew there was a high percentage of someone in one of your classes to have ADHD, so I really wanted to just learn more about it, since I may know someone with it. While researching about this topic, I learned a lot about the treatment for ADHD. It can literally change ones life. It can be so effective for the child and completely change their attitude towards everything. 

Also, I found it really interesting how different a kid with ADHD is compared to a kid without. I did not think the differences would be that big. The child with ADHD didn't like much, had a harder time with school, and did not like school at such a young age, where the child without ADHD loved doing activities, thought school was quick and easy, and loved school. I didn't know how muhc it could effect someone's feelings so this was very interesting and helpful for me to learn as well. ]]> 2020-11-18 13:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/23alvarezj4_1/1fug1gf2x91p9o7e/wish/936544830
