Many people with ADD have great ideas that seem very interesting and stimulating in the beginning. But it is when the nitty gritty details and preparation come into play that sufferers of ADD have problems. Any interest or passion that requires long-term attention and maintenance can cause the ADDer to lose interest, even if it is something they enjoy.

If this is understood, setting up optimal life conditions that bring out the best in someone with ADD, rather than harm, will be more clear.This often ften simply of understanding what it is. One very basic understanding is to realize that ADD/ADHD needs to be understood and managed. If you realize that a problem is ADD, related, it is important to focus on how to set things up for the person, in the way they work. Pressuring ADD/ADHD persons with what they "should" do, is not likely to help. A wiser approach is to celebrate what they "can" do, and use that as the standard of success.

It's crucial for an ADD person to feel that they are accepted as they are a valuable human being. Learning to understand and work with ADD can make things much easier. Also, it's crucial that parents understand that their child is not being defiant. They may be incapable of sitting quietly, as instructed.

Parenting the Explosive Child
Explosive and noncompliant children and adolescents present significant challenges to parents and cause distress to all family members. Such children tend to be quite misunderstood and their behavioral challenges are often poorly addressed by traditional discipline strategies which conceive such challenges as attention-seeking, willful, and manipulative. Research suggests that such children may actually lack cognitive skills essential to handling frustration, solving problems, and mastering situations requiring flexibility and adaptability. In other words, the difficulties of these children may be best understood as a learning disability. Naturally, if a child is lacking crucial cognitive skills, the goal for parents and other adults is to teach those skills. In this two-hour program, Dr. Ross Greene (author of The Explosive Child) and his colleague, Dr. Stuart Ablon, help parents understand the specific cognitive skill deficits that can impair a child's capacities for flexibility and frustration tolerance and provide step-by-step guidance on their approach -- known as Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) -- for teaching these skills. This video features live interviews with parents of behaviorally challenging children and provides answers to many of the common questions parents have about the CPS approach.DVD: Color, NTSC
