The lies! The ignoring. The huge reactions to everything... these behavior challenges feel pretty impossible to tackle. Fortunately, these tips can help.
To rein in rebellious, impulsive children without creating a power struggle or driving themselves crazy, parents must be patient, persistent, and creative in responding to resistance.At your wit’s end because your child doesn’t listen? Here are five common discipline problems faced by parents of children with ADHD — and solutions for each of them.Sometimes parents and kids get into a pattern in which daily tasks provoke battles.
Consequences should have time limits: long enough to teach a lesson but short enough to give the child a chance to move on to more positive things. The punishment should fit the crime. Overly harsh consequences will encourage your child to resent your rules and your authority — and will generate more anger and rebelliousness.All children lie sometimes. The lying may be mild or it could be a cover-up for chronic problems .
The first step in dealing with chronic dishonesty is to find the reasons that underlie it. If your child lies to avoid consequences for irresponsible behavior, for example, you must monitor those behaviors more closely and discipline any act of deception. If he lies in order to cover up failure and shame, encourage your child to be honest — and provide appropriate help so that your child can overcome whatever he’s struggling with.
Chronic overreaction to discipline — particularly when intense feelings of anger or frustration are involved — may not be due to ADHD alone. Is the child overreacting because she feels criticized? Unloved? Inadequate? Helpless? Overwhelmed? Are your expectations too high?Is there a parent anywhere who has not tried to have a serious conversation with a child — only to be met with indifference ? If such a conversation involves discipline, your message isn’t getting through.
