ADHD in Children: is ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Just Bad Behavior?

Saturday, August 1st, 2009 Is ADHD in Children a Medical Condition or Bad Behavior?Parents often ask me if ADHD is a real medical condition or merely bad behavior that requires more severe discipline like spanking.Spanking children with ADHD only causes a fight or flight syndrome that is damaging to the parent-child relationship. A sturdy parent-child relationship is "the thing" that will get parents through this. You CANNOT help your child without it, because he will NOT listen to you.When you learn how to provide your child with the relationship, structure, reward, and consistency he craves, you will see a remarkable improvement in his attitude and behavior. And you will see without a shadow of doubt that ADHD is VERY real, and VERY treatable....
