Behavior Modification for ADHD Children

Behavior modification is often suggested to parents of children with ADHD. But setting up a behavior modification program can be an overwhelming task for an already overwhelmed parent. About.com's Eileen Bailey offers some suggestions and advice to setting up a program that works.

"To set up a program for your child takes careful planning, commitment, patience, and working together with all caretakers."

Interestingly, Eileen's first suggestion is to evaluate your relationship with your child and make sure it’s healthy. "Tensions that have built up over time," she says, "can cause any new program to fail." She suggests taking necessary steps to repair your relationship with your child and dissolve any tension or hurt feelings.
