To prevent childhood ADHD, parents need to take a comprehensive approach: 1. Ensure children have a balanced diet, especially foods rich in Omega-3 such as deep-sea fish and nuts, which help promote brain development. 2. Provide a stable and harmonious family environment, avoiding prolonged exposure of children to stressful or anxious atmospheres. At the same time, encourage children to participate in diverse activities such as drawing, music, and sports to enhance their concentration and self-control. 3. Parents should pay attention to their child's mental health, promptly identifying and addressing psychological issues such as anxiety and depression. 4. Regularly take children for physical check-ups and neuropsychological assessments to detect and intervene early on potential ADHD risks.
