Helping your ADD Child to deal with criticism

Friday, October 17, 2008 at 7:53 PM Posted by Maximindpower

Part of self-esteem has to do with criticism. You have to
teach your child the best way to deal with that criticism.
Tell them the following and then reinforce it:
1. Listen to what's being said. Don't interrupt to contradict
or make excuses.
2. Agree with it, where possible.
3. Ask questions if they are unsure about anything.
4. Admit mistakes and apologize.
5. Calmly disagree if it's unfair. For example, they can
politely say, 'I don't agree with you'.

A well-written post. Agree with you. You can learn more on how to cure attention deficit disorder at www.attention-deficit-disorder.net. It may take quite some time to cure, but it's definitely a good try.
