You may wonder why in the world they behave the way they do. You probably feel frustrated often and wish that your child was \u201ceasier\u201d to raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But at the same time, you feel frustrated <em>for<\/em> your child. Seeing them struggle weighs heavily on your heart. You wish you could make their life easier for them and remove the struggles. You get angry when people make judgmental comments about your child\u2019s behavior or give you unwanted parenting advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this sounds familiar, please keep reading. As you gain a deeper understanding of your child\u2019s life with ADHD, you\u2019ll be better able to meet them where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">They Aren\u2019t Just Misbehaving<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your child with ADHD may be inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive, or have a mix of these symptoms. It can be really tempting to think they\u2019re misbehaving when they don\u2019t do what you ask them to do, or can\u2019t sit still for more than a minute, or forget to do their homework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving-16x9.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2685 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Misbehaving-16x9.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though you probably already know these symptoms are out of their control, it\u2019s easy to forget. Our society has expectations for children\u2019s behavior, whether or not realistic. And while all children display inattention, forgetfulness, and high energy at times, not all children have these traits to the extent that ADHD kids do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll repeatedly assume your child\u2019s behavior is merely misbehavior. This can be automatic. But practice reminding yourself that they aren\u2019t acting out or trying to aggravate you. They are living with symptoms of a very real disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">They Need You to Advocate for Them<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of their symptoms, kids with ADHD often encounter difficulties in school. While they can have learning disorders, this isn\u2019t always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom.jpg 334w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom-8x12.jpg 8w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2686 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom.jpg 334w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-Struggling-in-the-Classroom-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, the traditional classroom style of learning usually isn\u2019t well-suited for kids with ADHD. Sitting still for hours at a time isn\u2019t easy for most kids, and it\u2019s even harder for neurodivergent kids who have excessive energy. Adding impulsivity and inattention to the mix makes it even more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, your ADHD child may struggle in the classroom. Their teacher may not understand what they\u2019re going through and have little patience for their differences. While some schools are adapting to the needs of neurodivergent learners, not all of them are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can educate yourself on how to help your ADHD child thrive at school. Be their advocate with their teachers and school administration. Encourage the use of small adaptations, such as a standing desk or wiggle cushion, for your child in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">They May Have Concurrent Disorders<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many ADHD children also struggle with other emotional and behavioral issues. These include anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more. As a result, it\u2019s difficult to know what\u2019s causing what when it comes to their symptoms. And it can be impossible to sort out all of this on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining a close relationship with a therapist or pediatric specialist is very important for these issues. Having a professional walk alongside you during these important years of your child\u2019s development can make all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">They Need You<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom--16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom-.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2687 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom-.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Child-needs-Mom--16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as with all children, at the heart of the ADHD child is a strong need for you to be there for them. The manifestations of their disorder often cause low self-esteem (i.e., from school issues and being made fun of) and difficulty making friends. They can feel left out and like they don\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you can\u2019t erase all of this, you can provide them with the safe, stable place they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you find you need an extra voice to help guide you through these years, please reach out to my office to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are considering finding a therapist for your child, we have created a mini guide that shares with you 5 tips on how to select the best therapist for you and your family.
