SUMMARY
We can hear ourselves now trying to yell upstairs or get our kid's attention over the TV or tablet. We are all guilty of the “drive-by directions” trap when we want our kids to listen. None of these seem to work, and we just get louder and louder. Our tone gets angrier and angrier. Obvious ending? It doesn’t work. Getting kids to listen is tough; getting kids with ADHD to listen is even more challenging. Remember, your kids want to do well, so they aren’t playing a game of who can make mom the most mad. Their unique wiring requires a different communication strategy to get cooperation. In this episode, we share four tips to get your child with ADHD to listen without yelling. These take practice, but we know you will notice a more calm environment as you incorporate them into your home!
