It can be very frustrating at times trying to figure out ADHD parenting techniques. The first step is building self confidence in your child as well as yourself and this is done with communication skills. Lack of attention and comprehension can lead to misunderstandings with your child if your communication skills are not fine tuned to the circumstances of a child with ADHD.
The top ADHD parenting tips are;
--Your must be very specific in asking your child what it is that you are expecting of them.
--Consistency with your instructions is very important. Repeat often, use praise and pay attention to their thoughts and ideas. Really listen to them.
--Make sure they get plenty of sleep; at least 10 hours minimum. Children tire more easily especially the younger ones so try and plan a slower paced day of activities. Make sure they have healthy snacks avoiding sodas and candy. Do not skip any meals and try to have them at the same times each day. If an ADHD child knows what to expect with a structured routine there is less likelihood of an outburst or behavioral problem.
--Have a quiet time the both of you can share every day and which they will look forward to like a warm bath and story at the end of the day or a quiet time together before the afternoon nap.
Making the child feel secure along with a steady, reliable ADHD parenting schedule can help ease the frustration of behavioral problems. If a child feels secure they will become more self confident. And when a child, especially one with ADHD is self confident they will thrive, feel calmer and want to please your more with acceptable behavior.
