1. 十月係 ADHD 關注月 ｜ October is ADHD Awareness Month
中文
每年十月係 ADHD 關注月（ADHD Awareness Month）。呢個關注月由美國 CHADD 同幾個合作機構一齊推動，目標係分享可靠資訊、減少誤解。2026 年嘅主題係「A Community of Support」，可以譯做「一個互相支援嘅社群」。所以呢個月，周Sir 想同大家一星期傾一個題目，慢慢行，一齊行。[1][2]
English
Every October is ADHD Awareness Month. In the US it is led by CHADD together with partner organisations, with the aim of sharing reliable information and reducing misunderstanding. The 2026 theme is "A Community of Support". So this month, Chau Sir would like to share one topic each week, taking it slowly, and walking it together. [1][2]
2. 香港研究點講 ｜ What Hong Kong research found
中文
香港一項覆蓋全港學校、約 6,000 名 6 至 17 歲學童嘅調查估計，約一成學童（10.2%）符合 ADHD 嘅研究標準，係調查入面最常見嘅一類。研究數字唔等於個別孩子嘅情況，但佢提醒我哋：有呢份擔心嘅，唔止你一個家庭。[3]
English
A Hong Kong survey covering schools across the territory, with about 6,000 students aged 6 to 17, estimated that around one in ten students (10.2%) met research criteria for ADHD, the most common category in the survey. A research figure does not describe any single child, but it is a reminder that your family is not alone in this. [3]
3. 睡眠同專注 ｜ Sleep and attention
中文
同一項香港調查發現，明顯嘅睡眠問題同 ADHD 等情況有關聯。另一項統合分析亦發現，有 ADHD 嘅孩子較常出現難入睡、半夜醒、朝早難起身等情況。要留意，呢啲係「有關聯」，唔代表一樣導致另一樣。家長可以先試吓記低一星期嘅作息，有需要時帶住紀錄同專業人士傾。[3][4]
English
The same Hong Kong survey found that marked sleep problems were associated with ADHD and other conditions. A separate meta-analysis also found that children with ADHD more often had trouble falling asleep, waking at night, and getting up in the morning. These are associations, not proof that one causes the other. Parents might start by noting a week of sleep routines, and bring those notes to a professional if needed. [3][4]
4. 家校同行 ｜ Home and school together
中文
教育局《全校參與模式融合教育運作指南》提到，學校會邀請家長參與「個別學習計劃」（IEP）會議，一齊訂目標，並定期檢視。家長喺屋企睇到嘅具體情況，可以同學校嘅觀察互相補充。開會前，可以寫低兩三個最想傾嘅重點，例如功課安排或者課堂提示，咁就唔使擔心臨場唔記得。[5]
English
The Education Bureau's Operation Guide on the Whole School Approach to Integrated Education says schools invite parents to Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings to set goals together and review them regularly. What parents notice at home can complement what the school observes. Before the meeting, you might jot down two or three points you most want to discuss, such as homework arrangements or classroom prompts, so you do not have to worry about forgetting them on the day. [5]
5. 同行，都包括你 ｜ Walking together includes you
中文
研究發現，ADHD 孩子嘅家長整體上報告較高嘅育兒壓力。所以「同行」唔止係陪孩子行，都包括有人陪你行。今個星期，可以試吓搵一個信得過嘅人，傾十分鐘心事。如果覺得撐唔住，可以致電政府「情緒通」精神健康支援熱線 18111（24 小時）；有即時危險請打 999。[6][7]
下星期，我哋會傾吓幾個關於「冇專注」嘅常見誤解。一個月，一步一步，我哋一齊行。
English
Research suggests that parents of children with ADHD report higher parenting stress on average. So walking together is not only about walking beside your child; it also means having someone beside you. This week, you might try spending ten minutes talking with someone you trust. If things feel too much, you can call the Government's 18111 Mental Health Support Hotline (情緒通, 24 hours). In immediate danger, call 999. [6][7]
Next week, we will look at some common myths about "not paying attention". One month, one step at a time, walking together.
