Bringing up a child with ADHD requires different to traditional parenting skills. Normal rule-making and household routines can become almost impossible. It can become frustrating to cope with some of the behaviours which result from your child’s ADHD, but there are ways to make life more manageable and to make living with ADHD more stress-free.
The ADHD Plus Health runs a programme for parents working through practical and relevant frameworks to better understand your child’s symptoms, supporting you with implementing accommodations for your child’s ADHD, and teaching you the tools and strategies to build your child’s awareness and self-regulation.
This 8-step course combines learnings from the latest neuroscience studies, fun and dynamic exercises and worksheets, and an inside knowledge on what’s it like to live with and support someone with ADHD. It is tailored to your needs as a parent so that you can become agents of change for your child’s development.
Understand that what appears to be disobedience may stem from Executive Function deficits. Recognizing the role of the fight/flight/freeze response can reduce stress and provide clarity in challenging situations.
Understand what behaviors are really communicating, reduce overwhelm, and teach coping and transition skills to manage tantrums and meltdowns.
Use consistent routines and strategies to guide behavior—reinforcing the positive and addressing poor choices—to turn frustration into a manageable path forward.
Validate emotions to help children express their challenges, build emotional intelligence, improve social skills, and develop accountability.
