ADHD

ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) makes it hard for a child to pay attention, sit still or wait.

It is not bad parenting, and your child is not being naughty on purpose. Therapy gives your child tools to focus and stay in control.

Signs

Signs parents often notice

  • Easily distracted
  • Trouble sitting still
  • Acts before thinking
  • Talks or laughs too loud
  • Loses things often
  • Rarely finishes homework
  • Can't wait for a turn

Every child is different. Your child may show some of these and not others. Only an assessment can tell.

How therapy helps

What you work on together

Goals are set with you after the first assessment. These are the ones families often choose.

  1. Sitting and focusing for longer

    Movement and sensory activities help the body settle, so the mind can focus.

  2. Self-control

    Games that practise waiting, stopping and thinking first.

  3. Routines that work

    Clear routines for mornings, homework and bedtime.

  4. Calming down

    Mindfulness and breathing games your child can use at home and at school.

  5. Help for parents

    Counselling and simple tips, so home feels calmer for everyone.

If your child takes medicine for ADHD, keep following your doctor's advice. Therapy works alongside it.

Questions

Parents often ask

Is ADHD caused by bad parenting?

No. ADHD is about how a child's brain works. Parents can help a lot, and therapy shows you how.

Does therapy replace medicine?

No. If your doctor has prescribed medicine, keep following that advice. Occupational therapy builds skills alongside it.

Do we need a diagnosis first?

No. If you're worried, book an assessment and ask. Many families are also sent by their paediatrician or school.

What does it cost?

The first visit (assessment) is ₹1,200. Follow-up sessions are ₹1,000 each.

Worried about your child?

Send a WhatsApp message. Dr. Bhamini will tell you honestly what she sees, and how therapy can help.
