[quote=Anonymous]Try only positive commands and only when necessary. Like "come sit next to me" instead of "dont run" or "play with this" instead of "dont touch that". Give simple instructions one at at time. Not a list of things like "turn the tv off, bring your water cup, and wash your hands before coming to the table". Try just the first one then praise when she does it then give the second command. Repeat yourself 3 times with 30 seconds between each. After the second time tell her the consequence if she doesnt respond. After the 3rd time enact the consequence. Finally keep an eye for other adhd symptoms. Kids with adhd cannot process nor control impulses the way other kids can. "She never listens!" Is a super common precursor to an adhd diagnosis.[/quote]
