Parent and Family Coaching for Children with AD/HD

parents

Over two million children suffer from Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) in the U.S.

If you have a child with AD/HD and/or other behavioral issues, such as a child who’s not listening or has learning disabilities comingled with AD/HD, you know that parenting can be an extremely challenging, frustrating, and exhausting experience.

Knowing what to do-and how to do it-can seem daunting. Many parents don’t know where to start.

Parent Education & Coaching

As an experienced and highly trained coach, I can teach you behavioral strategies that will give you the tools to help your child.

Since children can be affected in many different ways, there is no “one size fits all” solution. We’ll work together to discover and implement behaviors that reduce the negative effects of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children.

Some of the topics we’ll discuss include:

Getting organized at home and school
Creating routines that work
Avoiding power struggles
Setting reasonable goals and rewarding positive behavior
Establishing techniques for discipline
Identifying your child’s strengths and capitalizing on them

Does This Sound Familiar?
It’s Tuesday night and you’re preparing dinner. Your child has a homework assignment due tomorrow, and he’s been working on it off and on since he got home from school.

He has been repeatedly distracted by the simplest of things and, despite your continued protests, has turned on the television, played with the dog, played video games, etc. Every attempt to get him to focus on his homework results in an argument.

The same situation seems to happen almost every night, and you know it’s negatively affecting his learning and grades. Furthermore, his teacher has told you on more than one occasion that it often seems like he has his mind on other things during class.

Sharing information, resources, and actionable ideas
Moving beyond existing power struggles to create a win/win for everyone
