Tips in case of impulsiveness

Children with ADHS frequently find it hard to abide by the rules. Although they often understand that rules and agreements are sensible, they are unable to actually implement them. Since they can hardly control their impulses or not at all, they will interfere time and again.

This is frustrating not only for parents and other close contact persons (such as teachers), but it also puts a great strain on the child itself. A few basic tips can help your child to better control its impulsiveness.

Giving clear instructions

Always give clear instructions! Your child can only comply with rules if it knows exactly what is expected of it. Also, it is important to make requests at the right time: When your child is fully absorbed in playing, for example, your requests will likely not be followed. Always express yourself clearly when giving instructions. Make eye contact as well as physical contact. Speak in clear, short sentences and have the child repeat your request.
