7 Vital Parenting Skills for Teaching Kids With ADHD: Proven ADHD Tips for Dealing With Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactive Kids

Does your child have a hard time sitting still? Do they have little to no patience when it comes to waiting their turn? Are they always seeking attention using negative behaviors like crying, whining, or throwing temper tantrums? Does their teacher complain of poor focus and attention in class? Are they always interrupting you and others in a hurried manner? They could have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children with special needs, such as those with ADHD require more love, care, and time. Parents have to be more patient with them as, most of the time, they exhibit behaviors that are out of their control and need to be disciplined. However, that discipline doesn’t come in the form of punishment, rather in the form of some helpful, yet effective, parenting rules and skills. In this brief guide, we review 7 vital parenting skills that have been proven effective when dealing with children who have ADHD. We explore the various means to implement these skills and put them to the test for their effectiveness. We also discuss why parents need to learn and practice these skills. Some of the principal topics discussed include the following: ● Offering children with ADHD structure and its role in behavior modification ● Setting clear expectations to instruct, explain and follow ● Understanding why some mild misbehavior must be ignored ● Introducing the idea of consequences to improve behavior ● Need for positive attention and its impact on children with ADHD ● Learning to block out distractions to improve focus ● Establishing reward systems and knowing their effectiveness, etc. Written to inspire every parent and facilitate them in modifying behavior in their children, this book comes packed with science-backed research and implementable strategies to offer readers some support when dealing with a child with ADHD.
