· Parenting ADD'ish children and teens
This session will focus on helping parents raise ADD'ish, right-brained, creative--and often impulsive--children to become successful, confident adults.
Topics include:
• What ADD is—and isn’t
• Natural strategies to help scattered minds plan, stay organized, & get things done
• Explaining AD/HD to your youngster or others without promoting blame and shame, or making it an excuse
• Helping the rest of the family cope with ‘unfair’ special treatment
• Handling homework and other “boring” tasks
• Dealing with frustration, reactivity and/or explosiveness
• Teaching youngsters strategies to help manage their impulsivity
