How can I change the behaviour of my child with ADHD? What are the basic principles of behaviour modification?

Answer:

The famous American ADHD expert Russel Barkley emphasizes the need for immediate positive consequences in the behaviour modification of ADHD children.

  • Use more immediate consequences
  • Use a greater frequency of consequences
  • Employ more salient consequences
  • Start incentives before punishments
  • Strive for consistency
  • Plan for problem situations and transitions
  • Keep a disability perspective
  • Practice forgiveness
This is very hard to achieve - especially if one or both parents are also affected by ADHD.
