Parenting The ADD Child: Old Rules No Longer Apply

It used to be thought children shouldn't speak up, and it
was OK to hit them when they'd broken a rule.

loved, secure and important, and you give them attention when
behaving well.
If children only get attention when they behave
badly, they'll behave even worse in order to get attention.
