[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes as parents, we focus on the negatives. If you aren't already, start looking for the good things. Generally, people respond well to praise. My ADHD kid responds much better to positive rewards than negative consequences. Identify behaviors you want to encourage, and focus on those. Your kid is doing several things right every day - identify them and encourage him. When his younger sibling irritates him and he walks away, recognize he removed himself from an annoying situation and it was a smart move on his part. When he yells instead of hits, that he used his words well. When he talks instead of yells, that he managed his anger and expressed himself well... Find something. Focus on the positives so you can reframe your own perspective of your kid. He's a great little guy, he has a ton of positives, start building from there. [/quote]
