ADHD Among Hong Kong Schoolchildren Is Easily Mistaken as Being “Naughty, Lazy or Inattentive”
Seed Medical Reminds Parents: Early Identification Helps Reduce Learning, Emotional and Family Stress
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 June 2026 – In Hong Kong’s academically driven environment, when children show signs such as being distracted in class, procrastinating on homework, being unable to sit still, frequently interrupting others or acting impulsively, parents may easily interpret these behaviours as being “naughty”, “lazy” or “unwilling to try”. Seed Medical reminds parents that if such situations persist and have already affected a child’s learning, emotions, daily life or interpersonal relationships, parents should correctly understand Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and avoid relying solely on scolding or stricter discipline, which may delay the child’s opportunity to receive appropriate support.
ADHD Is a Common Childhood Neurodevelopmental Condition and May Continue Into Adolescence or Even Adulthood
Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood neurodevelopmental condition. Its main presentations may include being easily distracted, unable to sit still and impulsive behaviours. According to information from Hong Kong’s mental health information platform Shall We Talk, the prevalence of ADHD among Hong Kong schoolchildren is similar to international figures, at approximately 5% to 9%. The U.S. CDC also notes that ADHD is usually diagnosed in childhood and may continue into adolescence or even adulthood; children may experience difficulties with attention, controlling impulsive behaviours or activity levels.
High Academic Pressure in Hong Kong May Amplify Symptoms and Increase Misinterpretation
Seed Medical points out that homework, dictation, tests, tutoring and school advancement pressure commonly seen in Hong Kong families may make ADHD-related difficulties more visible. At the same time, these pressures may also cause parents to attribute the issue solely to attitude or discipline. Some children may already be trying their best, yet still often get blamed because they have difficulty sustaining attention, frequently forget items, fail to remember instructions, act impulsively or are unable to remain seated.
In the long term, if the issue is not correctly recognised, children may gradually develop a sense of frustration and lowered self-confidence, which may also intensify parent-child conflict and family stress.
ADHD May Not Simply “Get Better With Age”; Emotions, Relationships and Family Dynamics May Also Be Affected
Many parents assume that ADHD only affects academic performance, or believe that children will “grow out of it naturally”. In reality, the impact of ADHD is not limited to classroom performance. It may also involve emotional regulation, interpersonal interaction, self-management and family relationships.
According to the UK National Health Service, symptoms of ADHD in children and young people may include difficulty concentrating, being unable to sit still and difficulty controlling impulses. Support may include adjustments at home and school, lifestyle arrangements and, where appropriate, medication.
When Should Parents Seek Professional Assessment? Four Warning Signs to Watch For
Seed Medical reminds parents that if teachers repeatedly report that a child has difficulty concentrating in class, cannot sit still, impulsively interrupts others or shows affected behavioural performance, or if parents notice persistent difficulties with homework, tests, daily arrangements and emotional state, they should avoid addressing the situation only through scolding, stricter discipline or asking the child to “try harder”.
If the situation has already affected the child’s learning performance, emotional health, interpersonal interaction or family relationships — for example, parent-child conflicts becoming increasingly frequent, or the child developing frustration, self-blame, lowered confidence or even resistance to attending school due to repeated criticism — parents are advised to seek professional medical advice early to understand whether further assessment and support are needed.
Parents may pay particular attention to the following four warning signs:
1. Classroom performance is persistently affected
Teachers repeatedly report that the child has difficulty concentrating in class, cannot sit still, often interrupts others or acts impulsively.
2. Learning and daily self-care show obvious difficulties
The child frequently experiences procrastination, omissions or confusion when handling homework, tests, packing a schoolbag, remembering instructions or completing daily tasks.
3. Emotional state and self-confidence decline
The child becomes easily frustrated, self-blaming, emotionally low, or develops resistance toward learning and attending school due to frequent criticism.
4. Parent-child conflict and family stress increase
The family frequently experiences conflict over homework, behaviour or daily rules, and both parents and the child feel significant stress.
Seed Medical recommends that if the above situations persist and have already affected the child’s learning, daily life or emotional state, parents should consider seeking assessment from child and adolescent psychiatry or relevant professionals, so as to understand the child’s needs early.
Treatment Is Not About Making a Child “Behave”, but About Helping Improve Core Difficulties
In terms of treatment, medication for ADHD is not intended to make a child “behave” or change their personality. Rather, under a doctor’s diagnosis and clinical judgement, it may help improve core symptoms such as attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity according to the child’s condition, making it easier for the child to participate in learning and manage behaviour and emotions.
Mayo Clinic Health System notes that common treatment approaches for childhood ADHD may include medication, behavioural therapy, counselling and educational support. The treatment goal is to reduce symptoms and related impact, and adjustments should be made according to individual circumstances.
Seed Medical currently provides child and adolescent psychiatry-related services, including ADHD-related clinical assessment, diagnostic recommendations, medication treatment assessment, follow-up consultations and treatment adjustment. The team recommends that if parents notice persistent impact on their child’s attention, behaviour, emotions or learning performance, they may first seek professional medical advice to understand the child’s actual needs before deciding on the appropriate direction of support.

TELOSIN Introduces “The Dual Transformation,” Pairing Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue with the New Lumiactive Collection
The new skincare system brings together FDA-cleared, NASA-inspired light technology, complementary formulations and award-winning patented design by Karim Rashid, following a Hong Kong launch attended by more than 2,000 guests
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – TELOSIN has introduced “The Dual Transformation,” a new approach to personalised at-home skincare built around two dedicated light-based beauty devices—the Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue—and the complementary Lumiactive Collection.
The launch brings together advanced light-based technology, targeted skincare formulations and award-winning patented design created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid.
Rather than incorporating multiple generalised modes within a single device, TELOSIN developed two distinct devices and two dedicated skincare pathways.
Y PRO Red is designed for a rejuvenation-focused skincare routine, supporting the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance.
Y PRO Blue is designed for routines focused on blemish-prone, oily or visibly unsettled skin.
The devices combine FDA-cleared technology with light-based innovation inspired by scientific developments associated with NASA research.
Introducing the Lumiactive Collection
The Y PRO devices are accompanied by the new Lumiactive Collection, comprising:
- LUMIRED Red LED Treatment Gel
- LUMIBLUE Blue LED Treatment Gel
- Blue Light Defense Cream
Together, the devices and complementary formulations establish TELOSIN’s connected Prepare, Treat, Protect approach to skincare.
The dedicated Lumiactive treatment gels are designed to prepare the skin for the corresponding Y PRO routine, while Blue Light Defense Cream completes the ritual as part of the brand’s wider daily skincare approach.
By developing the devices and formulations as one connected collection, TELOSIN aims to make advanced light-based skincare easier to understand, personalise and incorporate into regular at-home routines.
The result is a complete ecosystem built around two targeted transformations: a red-light pathway focused on rejuvenation and a blue-light pathway focused on skin clarity and balance.
Scientific Insight Behind TELOSIN
TELOSIN has expanded the scientific conversation surrounding the launch through its expert video series, “The Science Behind Telosin,” available on the brand’s website.
The series features expert perspectives from two medical professionals:
Dr. Omer Wolf, MD, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and advanced facial aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Uri Berger, MD, a specialist in aesthetic medicine with extensive international medical training and experience.
Through the expert series, TELOSIN provides consumers with accessible information about the principles behind light-based skincare and the evolving relationship between professional aesthetic knowledge, beauty technology and at-home routines.
The inclusion of medical perspectives within the wider educational programme reflects TELOSIN’s commitment to supporting product innovation through informed scientific discussion and responsible consumer education.
Award-Winning Patented Design by Karim Rashid
The Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue were created in collaboration with Karim Rashid, one of the world’s most recognised contemporary designers.
The devices feature award-winning patented design that combines Rashid’s distinctive visual language with TELOSIN’s advanced beauty technology.
Their fluid silhouettes, individual colour identities and ergonomic forms were developed not simply to contain sophisticated technology, but to transform the devices into desirable contemporary objects that can become a natural part of the user’s daily beauty environment.
The collaboration reflects TELOSIN’s belief that advanced skincare devices should deliver a sophisticated combination of performance, simplicity, comfort and emotional connection.
“The Dual Transformation” Unveiled to More Than 2,000 Guests in Hong Kong
The complete collection was officially presented on 30 June 2026 through “The Dual Transformation,” an immersive launch experience held at WTC Mall in Hong Kong.
The large-scale event welcomed more than 2,000 guests, including consumers, members of the Hong Kong media, influencers, beauty industry professionals and invited partners.
The launch featured internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid, MIRROR member Ian Chan, celebrated actress and singer Linda Chung, and Dr. Harvey Ho.
Karim Rashid introduced the creative thinking behind the award-winning patented design of the devices, while Dr. Harvey Ho discussed the different applications and skincare pathways associated with red and blue light technology.
Ian Chan and Linda Chung joined the launch presentation to experience the two routines and demonstrate how the Y PRO devices and complementary Lumiactive formulations can be incorporated into contemporary at-home skincare.
“The Dual Transformation demonstrates that advanced beauty technology does not need to feel clinical or complicated,” said Dr. Harvey Ho.
“By bringing together two dedicated light-based devices with complementary Lumiactive formulations, TELOSIN has created a more focused and intuitive approach to at-home skincare. The distinction between the red and blue light pathways also helps consumers better understand how different technologies can support different skincare needs.”
With more than 2,000 guests attending, the event marked a major public introduction of TELOSIN’s broader product ecosystem: two targeted devices, three complementary skincare formulations and one connected approach to personalised light-based skincare.
A Complete Dual Skincare System
With Y PRO Red, Y PRO Blue and the Lumiactive Collection, TELOSIN is introducing more than two individual beauty devices.
“The Dual Transformation” represents a complete skincare system built around clearly defined objectives, dedicated formulations and award-winning patented design.
It reflects the brand’s wider ambition to make sophisticated light-based technology more personalised, intuitive and accessible, while maintaining the premium design experience expected by contemporary beauty consumers.

SearchInform: A Risky Game – How FIFA World Cup 2026 Led to Mass Corporate Data Leaks
Experts claim that corporate employees in Southeast Asia are neglecting cybersecurity rules due to their love for football, leading to an increase in fraud cases.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Although the tournament itself took place in North America, Asia’s massive football fan base created the perfect conditions for data leaks.
Fraudsters are capitalizing on football fans by creating fake streaming platforms and malicious Android applications that steal saved passwords and account credentials directly from browsers. Criminals are also setting up fraudulent websites, as well as sending phishing emails to company employees disguised as gifts, promotions, and office betting pools.
“During major global events, the corporate security perimeter is under huge stress,” said Francis Yeoh, Country Director at SearchInform Malaysia. “Employees access streaming websites from corporate devices to watch matches live. Traditional network-edge security is insufficient—the real danger comes from the employee side of the fence. Employees could watch a translation on a malware-infested website, they could download streaming applications with hidden malware, or use corporate credentials to register for fraudulent giveaways.”
According to Group-IB and the FBI, from August 2025 to June 2026, more than 4,300 fake websites were registered fully mimicking FIFA interfaces, ticketing systems, streaming platforms, and World Cup employment portals.
How Organizations Can Reduce Cyber Risks During Football Season
- Monitor the use of corporate devices. Remind employees that corporate workstations should not be used for personal purposes, including streaming, downloading unofficial apps, or visiting suspicious websites. This measure alone can help reduce exposure to many malware threats.
- Strengthen password security. Monitor risky password practices, as some employees may reuse corporate credentials for personal services. If one of these services is compromised, corporate accounts and systems may be put at risk as well.
- Enforce multi-factor authentication. Apply MFA for privileged employees on a regular basis and temporarily strengthen authentication requirements for remote employees during high-risk periods. This provides an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
- Monitor data access patterns. Track who accesses critical information, from where, and monitor its transmission to prevent data loss. Make sure protection also covers cloud services, as corporate data is no longer limited to on-premises storage.

For this year, we are targeting the participation of approximately 300 buyers, of which 50 are premium buyers, reflecting our commitment to attracting high-quality decision-makers and creating greater business opportunities for Malaysian companies. We are also targeting RM2 billion in export sales under the INSP component for MIHAS 2026. To date, we have received interest from more than 500 international buyers across 55 economies, and we encourage Malaysian companies to register early to maximise their business matching opportunities.”
MIHAS 2026 is expected to generate total sales of RM4.50 billion, including export sales from the INSP. “As it stands, 15% of the interested buyers comprise returning buyers, demonstrating sustained confidence in Malaysian exporters and the compelling value proposition they continue to offer in global markets,” he added. This year’s INSP has attracted buyers from 55 different economies.
Malaysian exporters can register through the INSP MIHAS online portal and MADANI Digital Trade Platform (MDTP) before 31st July 2026 and take advantage of one of MIHAS’ most impactful business matching initiatives.
