ADHD in children: everyday strategies with Dr Dan
Do you want to know all the strategies to help your child’s ADHD symptoms at home and at school? Then this is the course for you.
We all want our children to thrive and reach their potential. In this comprehensive course, I will give you the best strategies and tools to help children with ADHD reach their potential.
Whether or not your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, this course can help if they often:
-
stand up and move around, even when expected to be seated
-
talk lots or interrupt others during conversations and activities
-
find it hard to wait their turn
-
struggle to stay focused during conversations
-
are easily distracted will engaged in work or play
-
are disorganised with tasks and responsibilities
-
leave tasks or assignments unfinished with careless errors
-
lose items and are forgetful in daily routines.
But we also need to remember to build upon the many strengths of children with ADHD, such as creativity, spontaneity, high energy with big imaginations.
As an experienced pediatrician and published child mental health researcher, I have compiled these strategies from my professional experience, personal experience, and interactions with many families. Often, I only have a limited window of time with families during appointments. However, in this course, you will gain access to the invaluable resources that I have found most effective but wish I had more time to share with all families.
By enrolling in this course, you will discover practical strategies to implement at home, school and in social settings to help address ADHD-related challenges. These strategies encompass behaviour management, academics, social skills development, emotional regulation and resilience to foster a supportive environment to help your child not just survive but THRIVE!
