AD/HD

Do you know someone with AD/HD? We are often asked questions relating to AD/HD behavior management. If you have a child with AD/HD, a tip to remember is:

Even with medication, we cannot expect a child or person to control a certain behavior. Instead of expecting them to control a behavior, it is important to teach them how to manage the behavior so that it is not effecting someone else. For example, teaching them how to fidget in a quiet way or switching to doodling instead. It still fulfills that behavior, but instead the child or person is managing the behavior.
