Kids with ADHD draw more attention from adults, whether they want it or not. Eventually, they realize they're being monitored and reprimanded more than their peers. It's no wonder self-esteem often takes a hit. What you can do to build your child up.
“I can’t do this! It’s too hard!” How many times have you heard your child say this, even before he attempts the task? With my son and daughter, who have attention deficit disorder , it leads to the circular and fruitless argument: “Yes, you can!” “No, I can’t!”
Children five to seven years old are developing their personalities and sense of self. It is hard to see a child suffer hits to his self-esteem. My neurotypical daughter approached me after she had, once again, defended her ADHD brother and sister to other children. “,” she complained. “They are really smart! They just don’t have the kind of smart that shows up well.”
Our children need to hear positive remarks from us. General remarks, such as “Good job,” are inadequate. Vague compliments are not powerful enough for a child whose self-esteem is tottering. Instead, make specific comments that praise exactly what the child is doing right. Don’t limit your positive feedback to tasks that are completed perfectly. Your child with ADHD has to work harder than most, so praise the effort. Use descriptive comments like “You kept trying even though it was hard.
