This state of tension within the family, inconsistent and unloving behavior will unfortunately slow down the process of trying to cope with ADHD.
- As you progress towards teaching new behaviors to the child, you may be overloaded without realizing it. Pressure and burdens often do not benefit families and children.
- Instead of focusing on the behavior that children exhibit, which is called a problem, we ask 'why does it do that behavior, how does it do it and under what conditions (are there/are there any environmental factors)?' An attempt should be made to find answers to these questions. When you set out to understand a child's behavior by focusing on these questions, you will both feel and understand your child better and your perspective on finding solutions will expand.
- Rules must be taught at home and at school, the child must know where to stop, and the price (punishment) if he does not stop. (not) should know what will happen.
- The child should be given responsibilities appropriate to his age and development level and should be approved appropriately.
