The problem with punishing your ADD/ADHD Child for his "bad" behavior

Avoid punishments that have the potential to harm your
child either physically or psychologically. For example, keep
from insulting your child publicly.

Be careful not to reward bad behavior. For example,
items you buy after a tantrum on a shopping trip could be seen
as a reward. Keep consequences small and instant. It's
consistency that's effective - not severity. Monitor the effect of
the punishment. If it isn't changing behavior, it's time to try a
different tack.

When your child has calmed down and returned to his/her
normal self, talk to him/her and be clear about what was
wrong and what you'd like to see changed. You may be
tempted to ask 'why', but with younger children especially, it's
best to keep any analysis to a minimum. Often tantrums and
anger are your child's way of expressing things she can't put
into words.
