The first rule is the best consultation where the child is comfortable

Children are often nervous in the doctor's office. In order to perform the diagnosis of the patient's condition as efficiently and qualitatively as possible, Nadiya conducts a consultation and evaluates a number of high-quality videos about the child's behavior in her usual environment.
Having many years of work experience, the doctor has developed detailed instructions for parents on how to conduct the filming. Following Nadia's advice, the consultations are calm and relaxed. And therefore, children receive the necessary treatment.

It's okay to ask for help. This does not mean that you are bad

parents
• Any conversation with a teenager ends in a fight, and you can't handle your emotions? Do you notice frequent mood swings in him?
• Does he show aggression towards himself or his peers, or on the contrary, has he "immersed himself" and lost interest in life?
• Does he leave home often, or does he spend all his time in the virtual world?
• Do you feel that you are no longer in control of the process and have lost contact with the child?

Parents often complain that the child does not want to study at all, cannot concentrate and maintain attention, has difficulty remembering information. All of these are signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Remember: ADHD (ADHD) is not a characteristic of the child, but a disease. It is caused by a violation of the functions of the child's central nervous system and it is impossible to get rid of it without the help of a psychiatrist.

If you answered "YES" to one of the questions, then you probably already need the help of a child psychologist who, if necessary, can recommend contacting a psychiatrist.

The first step: now it is important not to waste time, analyze the situation, help the child accept and understand himself, his emotions and get qualified help.
