[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children with ADHD and ASD can learn manners, both the doing and the why. It takes a long time and a lot of repetition. Persistence by the parent. Keep reminding, pleasantly. It will take longer for him and patience from you. Explain what to do and why to do it, explain that manners are reciprocal and make society run smoothly and make everyone get along smoothly.[/quote] Clearly & positively remind him of rules/expectations often Give some reminders ahead of potentially tricky situations Have him make immediate amends for wronging others Don’t get emotional Praise any inkling of positive behaviors Give tons of affection Be really happy to see him first thing in the AM and right after school Talk to a dr about medication if his behavior is seriously impeding his academics/social life. Some medications can rewire the brain so there might be less chance of him growing up like your MIL. [/quote]
