@myadhdadvocate: We discuss strategies for parenting a child with ADHD, including how to avoid getting drawn into power struggles and emotional reactions. The key is to stop participating in the cycle of escalation and find ways to not react to your child's button-pushing behavior. #parenting #emotionalregulation #powerstuggle #discipline #ADHDparents #ADHDparenting #ADHDinschool #ADHDbrightfuture #ADHD #ADHDsupport
So when they need to get dressed for school and you have asked nicely 8 times and they still won’t get dressed, what do you do?

Debbie Lloyd :
So how can I stop the behaviour, especially if it’s loud, disturbing and not appropriate? If I don’t participate, they wld not stop for hours. Not saying I disagree, i just need more clarification 😊

I don’t understand what to do next , do we just listen to them scream at us and not say anything ? Do we respond anyway? And if we do, how do we respond?

What does “stop participating” even mean? I feel like this is a vague, non-answer. I need a specific example of what stop participating means.

I feel like I’m just hanging on for dear life until he becomes an adult then he can do as he pleases!!! It’s beyond mentally draining. I feel double my age already. He’s only 7. His bro is 8 with ASD.

As a teacher and a mom- I have learned there is a way to get your point across without yelling. Repeating the expectation and also restating the consequence is so important.

walk away just keep walking . it's hard but affective. let them have there tantrums. then when things calm down they can talk to you and clean the mess they made. 2 years of doing this and it works.

Thank you! It’s been very hard to heal while also ensuring my child doesn’t need to heal from me. Not participating is so hard with impulsivity. But it’s possible!

Some days I feel completely overwhelmed.Constantly managing impulsive behaviour leaves me with zero energy left at the end of the day.
