@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 every time they are baiting you we are just suppose to ignore?? They also will harass you for hours until you can’t take anymore until they get what they want… how long before this method stops this behaviour? What about them destroying your home?

So is it just me, or did this video not actually give a specific tangible tactic? 🤔

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.

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 😊

Miss V :
My child has been told to limit computer time due to ADHD addiction. I’m trying set times but he pushes and pushes, it gets into hours of him still staying on. I have to keep the internet on 😩

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.

We have this with tidying up. I've tried them earning money/points, choosing the chore or being told but all the time it ends with them stopping and us getting annoyed. If we stop participating, (1/2)

How can I ignore the behavior when my daughter destroys things like her bedroom/bathroom and refuses to pick it up? I’m suppose to clean it up for her to do it again the next day?

Ok walk away. Then what? When they just follow you and keep asking why you won’t talk to them and they just keep going and going? Am I pretending they don’t exist after stating I won’t participate?

"its completely your fault" yes blame the parents for not getting the right help and support for their ADHD child, make us feel worse as parents for struggling 🙄

genuinely wondering though how do you stop participating without things like the silent treatment ect, thats how I was bought up and I dont genuinely know how to disengage

I tell him to get dressed for school, he doesn’t and smarts off to me while he’s at it. I tell him he will respect me because I am his mother and that talk is not allowed. He gets more disrespectful
