ADHD - When Parents Disagree
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children is still a pretty controversial topic.
While scientists are learning more and more each day concerning this disorder, many older generations still refuse to believe in it.
Many people will go as far as saying that parents claim ADHD so that they don't have to parent as well or so that they have something to blame when their child isn't perfect.
While parents of ADHD children are usually too busy to concern themselves with the thoughts and feelings of others, it is vital to their child's success that all family members are on the same page concerning this disorder.
The old saying holds true, it takes a village to raise a child.
In order for an ADHD child to have the best possible chance of success, parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers, and anybody else that might directly impact that child's life need to be on the same page and working together to help that child.
An ADHD child typically spends eight hours a day at school.
If they spend that eight hours being reprimanded constantly because they are a disruption to the class or are always suspended because they can't control their impulses, the child will only learn that they are misunderstood and won't amount to anything.
However if the parents and teachers are working together to help the child learn coping skills, the child will come to accept the disorder and learn how to use it to their advantage.
Children whose parents do not agree on parenting techniques grow up to be confused and misguided.
Many struggle with making the right decisions as they are unclear as to which parent is correct and which is not.
They may feel that they are the cause of their parents not getting along which leads to low self-worth and self esteem.
These issues can often lead to criminal activity if it goes undetected and not corrected.
Parents simply must work together to help children be the best they can be.
