This course will cover the recommended multi-modal treatment program, which includes medical, educational, psychological and behavioral management. Developing skills of behavioral management, prevention, good communication, and anger management, will empower you as parents, reduce the chaos in your home and help you and your child succeed. As a parent, I did not have this information available to me when I was raising my ADHD child. If I had, it would have made life so much easier. As a counselor who has facilitated many ADHD parenting groups, I have always felt gratified when parents leave feeling they no longer are alone and that they have definite skills to make life better." />

Parenting ADHD Children

Lesson 3: Lesson 3 - Starting with What Works

Homework

  1. Make a date with your child. Tell him you want to do something fun – just with him. Find out what he would like to do. When a date is established, DON’T break it! Your child needs to feel you take him seriously.

  2. Start a relaxation story with your child. As you guide him to breathe deeply and evenly, let him get involved in the creation of a story that will help him relax more. He can become as light as a feather and float, or he can sink into a wonderful cloud that takes him along. Don’t forget to breathe deeply with your child.

  3. Continue to fill out the behavioral chart for your child and your own emotional diary.
