Understanding ADHD Symptoms in Kids
Every child is born with their mix of strengths, challenges, and unique ways of interacting with the world. If your child regularly struggles with focus, emotional control, or executive functioning skills, and these issues impact their daily life or potential, they may show ADHD symptoms.
Here are common signs of ADHD
• Difficulty keeping attention during tasks or play
• Procrastination or avoiding tasks
• Being fidgety and unable to stay seated
• Acting impulsively
• Being disorganized, messy, or frequently losing things
• Experiencing overwhelming emotions, which suggests struggles with emotional regulation
It’s important to note that occasional inattention or high energy is normal for young children. To be diagnosed with ADHD, symptoms must be ongoing, appear in various settings (at home, school, and on the playground), and affect daily functioning.
Identifying ADHD symptoms early helps parents provide the right strategies and support. Without intervention, children may struggle academically, develop low self-esteem, and face social challenges. ADHD is simply a difference in how the brain manages attention and control, not a reflection of a child's intelligence or abilities.
At The Brain Accelerator, we see ADHD as a chance to understand a child’s unique cognitive profile and equip them with tools for success. Our Cognitive Skills Assessment is the first step in identifying which skills, like sustained attention, selective attention, working memory, long-term memory, and processing speed, might be contributing to the difficulties.
Beyond Symptom Management
While traditional methods may focus on managing symptoms, brain training targets the root causes. The BrainRx program at The Brain Accelerator in Dubai strengthens key cognitive skills that affect attention - such as memory, reasoning, and processing speed. We intensively work on all aspects of attention: sustained attention, selective attention, divided attention, and executive functioning skills. Our training leads to measurable, lasting improvements in children.
Our clients have seen an average improvement of 3.2 years in sustained attention after just 12 weeks of training. Parents also report that their child's brain feels calmer and more relaxed. Children can maintain attention on tasks that used to be hard, like homework or building with Lego.
Building Skills for Life
Supporting a child with ADHD involves more than just addressing immediate challenges—it’s about giving them skills for long-term success. With proper training, children can learn to handle distractions, tackle challenges confidently, and reach their full learning potential. If you notice several of these symptoms in your child and want to explore options beyond traditional methods, our team offers expert ADHD treatment in Dubai to guide and support their growth. Through focused cognitive training, we aim to help children succeed in all areas of their lives—at school, with friends, and in their personal lives.
