An Update on Parenting Tips, ADHD and Behavior Issues
Here are a few parenting tips, ADHD and other news which I wanted to pass on to you
. First, getting the child ready for school can be hell. Given that ADHD kids are slow, forget even which clothes to put on first and then have a hypersensitivity to certain fabrics, there is more than enough there to upset even the best planned routine in the world.
The problem of selecting clothes is solved just by having a different shelf for each complete outfit. You can easily buy stacking shelves or get plastic containers to organize their wardrobe differently.
The other problem of tags irritating their skin is a real turn off for kids because they have a tactile hypersensitivity. Actually tags drive me mad so I know exactly how irritating this can be! The easy solution is to cut them off but then there is sometimes the problem that the seams are really irritating too. I know that you can buy shirts with flat seams. After a while you will soon realize which fabrics really irritate your child so stick with the ones that he or she feels comfortable with.
Update on ADHD
I wanted to mention two projects which are trying to establish the exact genetic link in ADHD. On project was organized in Israel where two genes have been found which could account for the heritable link. Obviously more research is being done.
The other project, called the IMAGE study is a massive one which actually studied over 600,000 genetic markers in 900 families! Out of all these, only one genetic marker has been found which is actually linked to ADHD. Researchers believe that there must be several genetic markers involved so they are working on those. The facts that are available do show us that there is genetic link and estimates vary from 25% to 50% chance that an ADHD parent may also have an ADHD child.
Update on behavior issues.
Parenting tips, ADHD and medication are not the only issues. Making sure that ADHD behavioral therapy is in place does not necessarily mean you have to go to long therapy sessions. You can buy programs by well known and respected behavioural therapists. There are routines and discipline procedures which will stand you in good stead. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) supports this enthusiastically and say that if combined with some form of medication, the results will be much better all round.
Here is my favorite one which is the counting technique. Inappropriate behavior is met with silence and just hold up one finger and say 'That's one'. You can do that up to three times and then it is time out. If the child refuses to move at all and this can often happen, YOU take the time out and that could mean going out or locking yourself in the bathroom. The secret here is not to yell, explain, persuade, bribe or threaten. All of these are useless as the child knows the rules. He also knows the consequences so you just apply these when he has gone over the limit.
Looking at
parenting tips ADHD are just the tip if the iceberg. How ADHD friendly is your home and your own parenting? How effective and how safe is your medication option? I have set up a website explaining that there are other solutions like homeopathic remedies. Why not check this out?
