Help for Parents of ADHD Children

Residents in and around Princeton, New Jersey, are invited to attend a talk that is being hosted by the Princeton-Mercer chapter of CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). The program is being held Wednesday, Feb. 20, at Riverside Elementary School.
"This talk will focus on helping parents understand the social, emotional and cognitive tasks of adolescents, the inherent challenges for the ADHD teenager and his/her parents, and how a parent can help during adolescence while supporting healthy development."
The program's featured speaker will be Dr. Sharon Press, a licensed psychologist who specializes in the treatment of children, adolescents, and families. Dr. Press has developed and implemented several programs, including some for ADHD children and their parents. Source: The (NJ) Star-Ledger

A social skills group (non-profit org) is forming in West Windsor (Princeton Junction) for ADHD kids to help them better form healthy peer relationships. First session will be January 2011. If you are an interested parent, please contact me at wavecharm@yahoo.com for more information. Topics include picking up a peer's social cues, expressing feelings, handling frustration, playing within the rules, respecting another opinion, sharing and taking turns, and several others.
