I wish you had been around when I was a kid, youd have helped my parents so much. Thank you for these videos. Good luck to all the parents of ADHD kids out there

Just shared this video to myself so I can remember to check out those links in the morning. Looking forward to it!

We don’t do screentime on weekdays, I’m wondering if there are any other examples of incentives that can be earned/unearned with behavior? I wouldn’t want to remove his free time playing drums or riding his bike, though those are important to him, they’re also just a positive activity each day. I can’t think of any other items or activities we could disallow access to that wouldn’t then negatively affect the whole family.

I’ve struggled with this one. My son is adhd and autistic. I use language of accountability and I tell him, “you didn’t do your homework this week therefore you have chosen not to earn your pocket money this week”. And he comes back angry as a bull saying, “you chose not to give me it!” He can’t seem to comprehend accountability. He’s so literal thinking. Black and white thinking. There is a loop hole in everything I try 🫠😭 and he will argue the toss even though I’ve been doing this for weeks. Anyone else out there have dual diagnosis kids?

This was very helpful. I’m curious to see how it works especially with my child who has ADHD and is oppositional (destructive in the aftermath of not getting to engage in desired activity). I’m curious to see if the accountability language will result in him not breaking things🙏🏻

My child’s behavior is not just at home it’s at school as well. Will the program still be helpful?
