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).
