Building Your ADD Child's Self-Esteem

The Old Rules No Longer Apply When Parenting The ADD Child.

It used to be thought children shouldn't speak up, and it was OK to hit them when they'd broken a rule. Today, many parents have realized that children respond better if you make them feel loved, secure and important, and you give them attention when behaving well. If children only get attention when they behave badly, they'll behave even worse in order to get attention. Eliminate Hyperactivity, Increase Attention Span, Eradicate Defiant… Continue
