Families with children who have ADHD
Dear ADHD Community,
We have a new online 6-week Parenting Course: Maximising Cooperation, Self-Reliance and Self-Esteem.
Find out how to bring out the best in your junior school-age children (age 4 to 11 years old) with ADHD and related conditions. Noel Janice-Norton, Director of 'Calmer Easier, Happier Parenting' will help parents reduce conflict in their household and create a happier and calmer environment for the family.
What is the course about?
This six-week online course is specifically designed for parents of junior school-age children with ADHD and related neuro-developmental challenges. It will help parents understand the causes and contributing factors of when an ADHD child is struggling with behaviour, learning, social skills or self-esteem. The course will explain the benefits of a positive, firm, and consistent parenting approach to guide children towards the ‘Big Five’ goals that parents of ADHD children often seek advice about: cooperation, confidence, motivation, self-reliance, and consideration.
What behaviours will the course address?
--Children with an extreme temperament: very sensitive, intense, impulsive, inflexible, who often have a discrepancy between average or above-average cognitive ability but immature emotional development
--Weak executive function
--Rudeness or verbal aggression
--Preoccupation with screens
--Below-average receptive and/or expressive language
--Sibling rivalry, jealousy, bullying, teasing, bickering, fighting
--Routines for problematic flashpoints: mornings, mealtimes, sibling relationships, screen dependency, homework, peer relationships, independent play, bedtimes
Sessions will cover strategies to help parents with these behaviours.
When does it run? This 6 week course will run on Wednesday evenings from 8 May to 19 June (except 29 May) - 8pm to 9.30pm.
Cost of course: £120 per person/£60 for second parent
