Episode 14: Does my child have AD(H)S?
AD(H)S parent trainer Sabina Pahlke talks to podcast host Olli Schmidt about how AD(H)S can be diagnosed and what can help affected children and parents.
Does my child have AD(H)S? Many parents ask themselves this question. Often their child has just started school and learning in the new environment is still difficult. Some children turn out to be dreamers, class clowns or fidgets in class. The environment - often the teachers or educators - then often pushes for a diagnosis. A lengthy phase then begins, which is particularly draining for the children and can gnaw away at their self-esteem. But not every child has ADD or AD(H)S.
AD(H)S, or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is a neurological disorder. It is not just about a "lively" character or temporary inattention, but a complex interplay of symptoms that affect attention, impulsive behavior and emotional control.
Sabina Pahlke has been working intensively with AD(H)S for 15 years. She is both affected herself and the mother of two children with AD(H)S. The expert provides information about AD(H)S and has developed strategies to support affected families.
