[QUOTE="Star*, post: 140205, member: 4964"] MAMA~mia! Okay I think what your friend is talking about is called EFFECTIVE communication. There is no cure for ADHD. BUT there is a way to talk to children whether they are ADHD or CD or just normal that is more appealing to their ears and allows the parents to not use trigger phrases. Basically? It retrains the parent with workbooks and exercises in speaking so that your kids will listen. And it teaches you HOW to listen. If it were so easy to just speak to your kids - we all wouldn't need a little help. I have read everything I could get my hands on over the last 12 years. In all that time - 2 books stand out - One was a course called Effective communication and it is not easy. It's not easy because we may THINK we are saying nice things and we're secretly sabotaging our conversations with negatives. You can do a google search and down load the workbooks and lessons - I have not seen it for sale anywhere. We did it as a parenting class and I learned a TON on how to communicate better. The other book I was recently told to examine is called How to Speak so your kids will listen and how to listen so your kids will Speak - it's available through here (AMAZON) and it is ABSOLUTELY the BEST book I have EVER read regarding how to talk to kids or anyone for that matter. You start with week 1 and use it all week long. There is a q and a section and there are workpages in the book with practice conversations - also not easy but WORTH EVERY SINGLE MINUTE that you can devote to doing it. Remember too - ANYTHING you do to improve your family is worth it. Some things may seem like an exercise in futility - but a lot of therapy, counseling, etc. can be seeded now - and take a LONG time to grow to maturity. Some of the things that Dude learned when he was 10 are JUST now coming to fruition. Seriously - check out that book I mentioned. It will help you and if you get it through the site it helps the site too. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
