Archive | Behavioral Strategies for ADHD and ODD
When conventional methods of discipline fail to result in the changes you would like to see, it’s time to turn to new behavioral strategies for ADHD and ODD. It’s really frustrating when a child with attention-deficit disorder and oppositional-defiant disorder continues to make the same mistakes. They may seem to regret their actions, and get upset about the consequences or even fight with you over what they are losing, yet they repeat the same misbehavior. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Time to try something new.
Behavioral Strategies for ADHD and ODD
While they may keep making the same errors, you don’t have to be stuck trying the same corrective measures that are not working. Change is often not easy, but hopefully easier for the adults working with a child who struggles than for the child themselves. Personally I don’t think kids usually make bad choices on purpose. I think they lack the thinking skills they need to successfully adapt to changing demands from the environment. Do you ever worry your kid is “playing with fire” all the time?
