Parents can do much to help a child with ADHD.

It is exam time here in Port Elizabeth and I believe that there are ways you as a parent can help your child with ADHD. The first thing is patience and peace and joy in the home. I  have seen so many impatient parents .  Picture a team. To win, everyone must work together. It is the same with helping a child with ADHD. You can be like a coach. And patient, caring, understanding coaches often get the best results. But the best coaches are also firm and fair, and they expect those they are helping to stick to the rules. Fairness is very important to the ADHD child. When you can mix caring, concern, firmness, and fairness, ADHD children can learn to do better. And they feel better about themselves. This reduces the stress on you as a parent!  Parent do not provoke your child. I really think this was specifically meant for the parent with an ADHD child. Now during the exams please try and ensure a peaceful atmosphere.
