Emotional education and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: family challenges

Abstract

Economic crises have a profound impact on family dynamics, affecting interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being. Financial uncertainty, stress, and reduced resources can increase household tension, weakening the emotional support necessary for children's development, especially those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this context, the family plays a crucial role in the emotional education of children with ADHD, providing them with a stable and supportive environment that fosters their development. By strengthening affective bonds, implementing effective communication strategies, and establishing structured routines, the home can become a space for socio-emotional learning. It is essential for parents and caregivers to promote emotional self-regulation, resilience, and empathy in children, contributing to their well-being and ability to adapt to crisis situations. Home education not only complements school learning but also reinforces emotional skills that will help them face future challenges.
