Integrated behavior of parents regarding surrender, reflection, collaboration, talent, and nutrition patterns in treating ADHD in primary school-aged children

Abstract

Children with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) must receive special attention from teachers, parents, and health professionals, so integrated treatment is needed. This paper aims to describe the good practices of parents' integrated behavior in dealing with children with severe ADHD so that they have good abilities as reflected in the results of therapist examinations and school achievement measures. This study uses a qualitative approach with the main informants being one parent who has a child with ADHD, one homeroom teacher and one teacher as supporting informants. The research instrument consisted of interviews, observation sheets, and documentation. The research instrument was obtained through expert validation before being used. Data was collected from the interviews with informants and the consequences of children's assessments. Source triangulation was carried out with informants. The findings of this study indicate that parents' integrated behavior, sincerity, reflection, collaboration, talent, and nutrition (SRTCN) succeeded in increasing the ability of children with ADHD to develop better. The researchers recommend that parents carry out behavior that is integrated with the SRTCN pattern in dealing with their children who are detected as having ADHD based on these findings.
