Prevention
There is no way to prevent ADHD. But also there are some steps that may help to prevent the causes of ADHD and make sure your children are healthy as far as possible physically, mentally, and emotionally:
• When pregnant, avoid anything that can harm fetal development. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, smoking or using drugs.
• Protect your children from pollutants and toxins, including cigarette smoke, industrial chemicals and agricultural, chemical and paint (on some older buildings).
• Always be consistent, make it clear limits and consequences of the habit instilled in your child.
• Take your routine with your child together with clear expectations, including the case of sleep, in the morning, while eating, while providing a simple task, and when to watch.
• Avoid anything else that you do when talking with your child, make eye contact when giving instructions, and praise your child every time every day.
• working with teachers and caregivers to identify problems early on. If your child has ADHD or other conditions that interfere with learning and social interaction, early treatment can reduce the impact of the condition.
