Parenting Program
When doctors take the time to listen to parents….amazingly good results follow!
When we first started listening to parents, we learned a lot about what didn’t work. Those magical time out moments ended up with parents spending hours to get their five year old, hyperactive child to sit in a chair for five minutes.


Why don’t time out, charts, rewards and punishment work so well for kids with ADHD?
The answer is this, some children and teens have mistakenly been diagnosed with ADHD without “looking at the big picture”. Other children actually have ADHD, but are not being effectively treated for it. And without figuring out the specific medical causes of each child’s problems, no parenting technique is going to work.
What kinds of medical problems could my child or teen have?
