How do I know it’s true? What is the evidence? Is this thought really serving me well? Who would I be without these thoughts? Am I willing to release these thoughts?”Kids need to know they are significant, capable, unconditionally loved, accepted, and respected. Never impulsively cast shame and guilt on your child for an ADHD symptom. Discipline should always focus on a specific behavior – not on the child’s self.
