Workshop
for Parents and Caregivers
of Children with ADD/ADHD
Learn effective ways to reduce family stress, become a collaborative
parenting team, and improve your child’s behavior with kindness and clarity!
|
Learn
strategies for parenting the child with ADD/ADHD:
- Week 1: How to use positive feedback more effectively
- Week 2: How to discipline with less emotional energy
- Week 3: How to use a credit system
- Week 4: Questions and answers (co-facilitated by Dr. Sandy Newmark)
Workshop format:
Each week will begin with a presentation of one effective behavioral
parenting skill to help your child. Suggestions for how to
apply this at home will follow, with time allowed for discussion,
asking questions,
and providing the opportunity to share specific concerns or
challenges. At the end of each meeting, parents will receive
a handout covering the
material and a simple homework assignment to
help them use this skill at home. The following week, they can report on how
it worked with their child and problem solve if needed. For
interested parents, participants can develop a network of
support for each other to continue outside the group or after the workshop series
ends. This 4 week series will provide a solid introduction
to Howard Glasser’s
Nurtured Heart approach for parenting children with ADD/ADHD.
