• It will help parents understand the causes and contributing factors when an ADHD child is struggling with behaviour, learning, social skills, or self-esteem.
• The course will explain the benefits of a positive, firm, and consistent parenting approach to guide children towards the ‘Big Five’ goals that parents of ADHD children often seek advice about:  cooperation, confidence, motivation, self-reliance, and consideration.
• In each session, the course will introduce and explain several practical and effective strategies, followed by time for Q&A..
