[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids with ADHD and a DH who may have ADHD.  It's hard but not that hard - [b]I've trained horses and dogs for years and a lot of the training ideas transfer. [/b] Have a goal, break down the smaller steps needed to get there.  Require good manners and safety.

OP, if they are bugging each other or fighting, then tell them what to do (walk on either side of you), give them something to focus on (count the mailboxes, run to the next driveway, whatever), and correct bad behavior (no hitting, touching your brother means losing screen time or a toy or something).  Use your mom voice/teacher voice/drill sergeant voice.  Training requires consistency and persistence.  You can do this.[/quote]

Ha! Yes. This.

I just randomly watched an episode of South Park yesterday. Cartman was out of control (of course) and Cartman's mom brought in a variety of child experts for behavioral help. The only expert who was able to help was the Dog Whisperer. The Dog Whisperer helped immensely but in the end, Cartman reverted back to his bad ways because his mom was enabling and babying him.

My teen likes South Park. I'm not a huge fun but, ugh, there is truth there at times. [/quote]

Ha ha I need to watch that episode. [/quote]
