Do Some Parenting Styles Trigger the ADHD Label?
We train parents in how to provide an environment that is beneficial for them and their children, and reduce the tension and frustration over school performance and the homework hour(s). We encourage parents to reflect on their values and the behaviors they find desirable or undesirable. In some cases, we will recommend a series of workshops for parents.
The increasing numbers of children that are on psycho–stimulant drugs is frightening. Why has this happened? Are teachers unable to handle children that lack discipline and therefore requesting parents to seek medical attention instead of altering their parenting style? Parents are frequently intimidated by educators, administrators, and health care providers and can understandably reach the conclusion that someone else knows what’s best for their child. Authority that is assumed to reside outside the home creates a vacuum in the household, and results in children’s difficulty in self-regulating behavior.
At kSero, we empower parents with knowledge and confidence to use their authority while creating a positive emotional environment. We help parents with tools that increase desired behavior and eliminate negative behavior. But, we also give parents the coping skills to deal with children who are simply being children.
