Abstract
Background & Objectives: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is one of the most common problems of children and adolescents and the reason for referral to psychiatrists and psychologists. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the impact of parent-child perceptual motor activities on behavioral problems in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Methods: The study populations in this study consisted of 36 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with an age range of 7-10 with their mothers and the participants were randomly divided into two groups of mother-and-child exercise group, and separate mother-exercise group and child-exercise group (n = 18). According to the abovementioned groups, the participants practiced perceptual motor exercises for 8 Weeks – three 45-minute sessions a week. Before and after the intervention, data were collected using Achenbach Child Behavior Inventory. Data analysis was performed using covariance analysis (p<0.01). An increase in the mean post-test scores of both groups showed that perceptual motor exercises were effective in all cases.
Results: The average reduction of both parent-child training groups from pre-test (120.17) to post-test (91.66) and parent-child exercise group separately (122.000) to post-test (106.00) It showed that motor perceptual exercises affected children's behavioral problems. Also, significant differences were observed in comparison with group with the control of the pre -test. The average behavioral problems of the parent-child training group were observed (91.66), and the parent-child group separately (106.00).
Conclusions: It can be concluded that motor perceptual exercises improve the behavioral problems of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and maternal and child exercises together can be a good way to improve the behavioral problems of children with this disorder.
