February 9, 2007, Newsletter Issue #57: How to Handle your ADD ADHD Child.

Tip of the Week

Here are some suggestions for parents to handle children with ADHD ADD:
• Parents of the ADD ADHD child must be assertive in limiting television watching as well as the time duration for video gaming and radio or music listening. This is because, as explained by an ADHD expert, “television, radio and video games are all stimulants and impede the abilities of children with ADD and ADHD to concentrate, relax and sleep”.

• parents must assign specific duties to their ADHD ADD children for example “empty the trash in the bathroom and kitchen, rather than just directing them to take out the trash”.
• Also, with the help of “behavior modification therapy”, patients with ADHD can be taught organizational skills and time management while utilizing things like day planners or electronic organizers.
• Creating strict routines with extra hours for exercise is also a way to manage ADHD. The ADHD child loves to move! Plan a family exerisze hour.
• Take your ADHD ADD child thru a step buy step plan when acomplishing larger tasks. Splitting major tasks into minor ones can also greatly help reduce anxiety.
By following specific steps for diagnosing the problem and the type of ADD ADHD, this challange can be treated with the aid of various therapies that help sufferers learn coping strategies.
