One Step at a Time

Children with ADHD have a multitude of struggles, which can translate into disorganization, interrupting conversations, unfinished chores, lower grades, and behavioral problems.  As parents, we may be tempted to address all of these issues at once, but this approach often fails us.  It leads to increased frustration and a sense of failure, for parents and children alike. 

It is important to work on one specific behavior at a time.  This will reduce the stress on you and your child, and minimize feelings of overwhelm.  Be patient.  There is plenty of time to work on other behaviors and obstacles.
