She is only seven years old and a very sweet little girl. However, when she gets excited, she has a tendency for impulsive behaviors (rarely any that jeopardize her safety) which aggravates him immensely, so he immediately begins yelling at her. She, in turn, becomes upset and starts crying. When she doesn't heed his order to stop crying, his tirade is further fueled which provokes her to cry harder, and on and on it goes. Already, her relationship with her dad is showing signs of strain, and I foresee the situation worsening as she begins to enter puberty. My husband and I have taken two parenting classes--one of which was designed specifically for parenting children with ADHD. Nevertheless, the situation has not improved. Are their any other resources within the community that might be able to offer guidance? Is there anyone who specializes in counseling parents of children with ADHD?
