Talk to Kids About ADHD

Talking to and understanding kids with ADHD is very hard as they can't actual understand most things you say, and they normally can't express their feelings well. But most of all they feel like they're a failure and can't understand why they're even there because they fail at most things in school and can't concentrate. So this article is here to help you understand children with ADHD without taking drastic measures.

 * 2) Keep it brief. They can't pay attention to what you're saying, so the less you say, the more they hear. [[Image:Talk to Kids About ADHD Step 2.jpg|center|550px]]
 * 3) Avoid fragile subjects. If something is bothering them they will probably tell you themselves; otherwise just try to avoid the subject and talk around it. If they sense the conversation is getting to close to the subject they will either cry stop talking to you or start getting aggravated. [[Image:Talk to Kids About ADHD Step 3.jpg|center|550px]]
 * 4) Don't punish them. Say to stop if they're doing something wrong, but don't punish bad behaviour that they can't really help it. Do, however, reward good behaviour. [[Image:Talk to Kids About ADHD Step 4.jpg|center|550px]]
