[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social skills group only helps so far. DS (ADHD-inattentive) knows what he's supposed to do but in the heat of the moment, can't think fast enough to implement the skills he learned. He yells or cries instead because those emotions surface easily for him. Its not until he calms down that he think that he should have done this or that.[/quote] A technique we used for that was for him to practice stepping back and closing his eyes ( sometimes counting backwards from10) when he was in the heat of the moment. We had him practice it when things were calm. We went from telling him what to do to using a code word. At first it was us catching him right before a fit, but then he learned how to recognize things before they got to far and implemented the tactic. Now, he just steps back and goes quiet. It took years to get there. [/quote]
