Why punishment fails with the ADD /ADHD Child and what to do instead.

Bad behavior often decreases when it costs your child
something. 

The three main costs are:

•  time, 
• money 
• and undesirable consequences such as briefly removing your child from an activity he/she enjoys.

The main reasons a punishment fails are:

•  because it’s too severe, 
• it’s given too late,
•  or it’s inconsistent.
