This 6 week 12 hour workshop for parents of children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms presents practical solutions to day-to-day behavior management problems from homework completion, complying with rules and requests, to talking back. Parents are offered positive methods for improving children’s and teen’s behavior so that the use of punishment is drastically reduced. Our research on more than a thousand children and adolescents shows that not only are ADHD/ADD symptoms greatly improved, but self esteem for parents and their children is greatly enhanced. Parents consistently rate this approach above or equal to medication in effectiveness. Long-term outcome studies find that without such treatment, ADHD children do not fare very well. Practitioners report that parent training in behavior modification is the second most recommended therapy for ADHD (medication is first).

Dear Mrs. Pennington,
Just a note wanting to know how you are doing there with the recent storms on the news on Tv. Hope everyone is safe warm and happy! Here we usually see tornadic activity , how strange that it is down there where you are. We are doing fine a bit chilly still but not cold enough to keep Brooke from her softball games.
Sincerely Yvonne Donate
