Hiperactividad y déficit de atención en niños: guía y rutinas | Teresa Pons

ADHD in children: Guide and routines | Teresa Pons

Inattention, impulsivity, or a very high activity level can appear at different times during childhood. For some children, these are isolated situations related to tiredness, changes in routine, or specific developmental stages. In other cases, they may be part of an ADD or ADHD that needs to be assessed by healthcare professionals.

When these difficulties affect school, daily activities, or family life, in addition to professional monitoring, it can be helpful to review aspects such as rest, home organization, diet, and daily routines.

In this guide, we review some practical guidelines and explain the different options in the Teresa Pons children's line for families interested in routines related to hyperactivity, calmness, attention, and concentration.

What is the difference between inattention, hyperactivity, and ADHD?

A child being restless, having a lot of energy, or being easily distracted does not necessarily mean they have ADHD.

The ability to maintain attention changes with age, context, and time of day. Tiredness, lack of sleep, an excess of stimuli, school changes, or an unstructured routine can also play a role.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that must be evaluated and diagnosed by qualified professionals.

If inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity persist over time and significantly affect daily life, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician or specialist.

Habits that can help organize the day better

Maintain predictable routines

Having relatively stable schedules for waking up, eating, studying, playing, and going to bed helps the child anticipate what comes next.

It is not necessary to follow a rigid schedule, but it can be useful to maintain a similar structure during school days.

Break tasks into small steps

Long instructions can be difficult to follow. Often, it is easier to divide an activity into several specific steps.

For example, instead of asking "get ready for tomorrow," we can break the task into:

  • Pack the backpack.
  • Put away homework.
  • Choose clothes.
  • Prepare what is needed for the next day.

Reduce distractions during study

An organized desk, with the necessary materials prepared and without television, mobile phone, or other unnecessary stimuli, can help the child focus on one task at a time.

Alternate periods of activity and rest

Spending long periods performing the same task can be difficult for some children. Introducing short breaks allows them to switch activities and then return to work.

Prioritize sleep

Getting enough sleep is part of a healthy routine during childhood. Irregular schedules, screens until late, or going to bed too late can make the next day more difficult.

Maintain a varied diet

A balanced diet and regular meal times are part of a good daily routine. Food supplements, when used, should always be understood as complementing these habits.

When to consult a professional

It is advisable to talk to the pediatrician or specialist when inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity:

  • Persist for a prolonged period.
  • Clearly affect school performance.
  • Significantly hinder daily activities.
  • Appear both at home and in other environments, such as school.
  • Generate concern in the family or teachers.

A professional evaluation allows distinguishing between isolated difficulties and situations that require specific follow-up.

A complete routine goes beyond a supplement

When a child experiences attention difficulties or moments of great restlessness, there is no single measure that replaces all others.

Rest, daily organization, movement, nutrition, study environment, family support, and professional follow-up are all part of a more comprehensive approach.

Our children's line products can be incorporated into these routines when they fit the needs of each family, always respecting the usage instructions.
