adhd in children how do you properly comunicate with them?

Answer 1

You can communicate like you would with a non-ADHD person, with a few alterations. Keep what you say short and to the point. Also, they want what you to say to be focused on the immediate or soon-immediate consequences (more so benefits) that they will have.

Answer 2

you have to try and hold "eye contact with them."
it also very much depends on the age of the child and if they are your child, if you are in a school setting, etc...
if it is appropriate for you to come in physical contact with this child, hold on to this child while talking soothingly to him or her, and speak clearly, lovingly, yet firmly. Never raise your voice, to try and speak over them, wait for them to settle down, if possible, try and separate the child (when they are acting overly excited and need some time alone, so they can better concentrate without distraction of other children and other people, or activities going on around them) these children already have enough turmoil and chaos going on inside of their minds, so what they need is a common ground, where they can once again achieve balance.

Answer 3

I have learned with my 6 yr old with it, be short and to the point. And make sure they understand the consiquences of what happens if they don't do something. Don't ramble. Short, sweet.

Answer 4

ad hd is something that makes them hyper and less likely to pay attention, you need patince and such to deal with it but you have to hold them to real standards and treat them like they are theyre ages............. its not a disease dont treat them differently then others except more patience possably........................ a common mistake people make is treating children with such conditions to differently making them less likely to try, and less likely to suceed... they have to try harder for sucess but they to can reach it................ treating them as if their condition makes them not have to do the same things as other children their ages really is bad, that is why there are parents that know their children have it but dont go and get it confirmed because they dont want their children to have a reason to fail
