6 Behavioral Parent Training Programs for ADHD Families
Parent behavior training is one of the best-kept secrets in ADHD management. This evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents with ADHD is highly effective, yet it is scarcely mentioned by clinicians.As many as 62% of kids with ADHD receive a diagnosis and a prescription for medication without a recommendation for any type of parent behavior training or family therapy, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In a recent ADDitude survey, 57% of parents said they had participated in parent training. Of those, an astounding 93% recommended it.Caregivers exert the greatest influence on their kids’ lives, and, let’s be honest, raising a child with ADHD can be extremely challenging.
Parents may become frustrated, lose their temper, make allowances for inappropriate behaviors, or just give up in the face of relentless negative habits and attitudes.
This is where parent behavior training, also called behavioral parent training (BPT), can help.Parent training refers to a series of interventions designed to help caregivers learn effective strategies to manage their own emotions as well as their child’s behavior.
