The growth of the child from its pre-schooling stages to its adulthood is said to be the toughest time for the parents and for the child itself. This is because it involves pivotal transactions from the journey of childhood dependency towards the adulthood independency.

our brain on ADHD
By Bonnie Berkowitz and Patterson Clark, Published: June 1, 2015
Up to 11 percent of school-age children and 4 percent of adults are estimated to have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. About 70 percent of those kids (and an unknown but growing number of adults) take medication for it. Scientists don’t know exactly what ADHD is — or why certain drugs improve its symptoms — but most research suggests that it causes signaling problems in the brain. ADHD medications are thought to improve those brain signals.
This document provides a summary of the 2010 annual year in review presentation conducted by Dr. Stan Kutcher, the Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, on February 10, 2011
“Mental health is as important as physical health to the overall well-being of individuals, societies and countries. Yet only a small minority of the 450 million people suffering from a mental or behavioural disorders are receiving treatment” (The World Health Report 2001, Chapter 1).

Inappropriate Methods That Deter Cooperation
Method Example
Blaming and
accusing

15 Techniques to use with children which invite cooperation
1. Give children valid, appropriate and limited choices. Limit use of commands. Offering options gives
the child a sense of empowerment. This works especially well with children who are strong willed and
in need of a great deal of control. Giving choices eliminates power struggles and “NO” answers.
ie: Do you want your milk poured into the green cup or the blue cup?
ie: You may walk to get your diaper changed or I can carry you. (either way, the diaper is getting
changed).
ie: Say “It’s naptime” rather than “Do you want to take a nap?” which offers the ch.
Understanding & Responding to Challenging BehaviourPooky Knightsmith
Behaving in a socially acceptable way can be tricky for some children some of the time. In this guide, we’ll consider first how and why to look beyond the label of ‘bad behaviour’ to gain a better understanding of what is going on for our child. Then we'll consider how we can respond in an appropriate way and support our child to reduce the frequency and intensity of tricky behaviours.
Towards the back of this guide, you'll find a behaviour journal and a behaviour change plan. These are designed to be printable and copiable; feel free to copy, use and share them.
Cherry-pick the ideas that you think might work for you and give them a go. You can always revisit others later if you need to.
Good luck!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Top 10 Discipline Tips for Kids with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
1. Top 10 Discipline Tips for Kids with Oppositional
Defiant Disorder
EDUCATIONANDBEHAVIOR.COM
2. You can also find a written copy of this presentation
on educationandbehavior.com at
http://www.educationandbehavior.com/strategies-
for-oppositional-defiant/
Great for printing if you want to share with
parents or staff members!
3. Raising a child with oppositional defiant disorder
can be extremely frustrating because you feel like
everything is a constant battle. You just want your
child to do his homework, pick up his toys, get
dressed for school, etc. and you are constantly
faced with refusal.
4. As a behavior specialist and school psychologist I
have had many parents and teachers ask for advice
on how to handle this kind of defiant behavior. In
my training I learned a lot about positive behavior
support strategies and have used them with my
clients and students for the past 16 years, and now
with my own son. I can tell you first hand that these
strategies are extremely effective. They work when
I use them and when I teach others how to use
them with their children or students.
5. People often think that positive behavior support is
simply giving rewards for good behavior, and when
that doesn’t work they think that the system
doesn’t work. I have repeatedly heard that positive
behavior support does not work from people who
were not using it correctly. While a piece of positive
behavior support is allowing children to earn
privileges rather than taking them away, it is so
much more than just that. It is a way of speaking,
acting, and responding to behavior.
7. FYI: These tips are effective for all kids, not just
those diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder.
8. 1. Set up expectations ahead of time and allow
your child to earn privileges for following those
expectations. This is much more effective for
encouraging compliance than punishing your child
or taking away privileges when they don’t do what
you want them to do.
9. Let your child have a say in what they want to work
for. Allowing children to earn privileges puts the
ball in their court. They know what is expected and
they know what they have to do to earn the things
they enjoy. They also feel a sense of pride when
they earn what they worked for.
10.
11. When your child starts getting off track, remind him
of what he is working towards rather than telling
him what you will take away if he doesn’t listen.

Earn for Good Behavior at

kids-good-behavior/
13. 2. Use transition warnings to let your child know
what is coming next. Here is an example, “In ten
minutes it is time to turn off your video games and
come eat dinner” or “After this show it is time for
homework.” Give some more reminders as the time
is winding down (e.g., in two minutes it’s time for
dinner).
14. A timer or visual timer can be helpful for
children who don’t have a concept of time.
You actually probably have a free visual timer
app right in your tablet, smart phone, etc. Just
go to your app store and search “kids visual
timer.” Visual timers are also available on
Amazon or other online stores.
15. To learn more about visual timers and timer
implementation check out 3 Ways to Use Timers to
Encourage Homework and Chore Completion at
http://www.educationandbehavior.com/getting-
children-to-do-chores/
16. 3. Use empathetic statements to show your child
you understand how he/she feels. Imagine how you
would feel if someone came into your room and
said “get off the computer and go to bed.”
Although they are kids and are expected to follow
adults’ rules, they still have the same feelings you
would have in that type of situation.
17. You can show them you understand how they feel
with a statement such as “I know you are really
enjoying your computer time and you don’t want
to turn it off, but you need to get rest for school
tomorrow. You can have some time on the
computer again tomorrow.”
18. 4. Phrase directives in the positive and remove the
word “can.” For example, instead of “stop jumping
on the furniture” or “can you stop jumping on the
furniture?” try something like “sit down” or “come
down off the couch” in a calm, but confident tone.
If possible provide an alternative activity or redirect
them to something they like to do like “let’s do
jumping jacks together” or “here are some
puzzles/blocks to play with.”
19. Children respond much better when you tell them
“what to do” rather than “what not to do.”
Anything you want your child to stop, you can
phrase in the positive by giving them a clear
direction of what you want them to do. Giving an
explanation such as “you can fall” or “that can
damage the couch” is often helpful as well.
20. 5. Use specific praise when your child follows your
expectations or listens to your directions. Some
examples include "excellent job picking up your
toys," "you were so focused during homework
tonight," "nice job listening to directions" etc.
Specific praise or acknowledgement of healthy
behaviors reminds the child of what behaviors you
are looking for and reinforces them.
21.
22. 6. Pick your battles. If your five year old is playing in
the dirt and you find it disgusting, let him. As long
as he is safe, not hurting or disrespecting himself or
anyone else, and not damaging anything, try to give
him as much freedom as possible.
23. 7. Give your child choices whenever possible.
Examples include, “Do you want to wear the green
or red shirt?” “Do you want to do your math or
reading homework first?” “Do you want to set the
table or take out the garbage?”
24. 8. Say what you mean and mean what you say. If
you tell your child that he needs to pick up his toys
before he can play outside, make sure you follow
through on your rule and honor your end of the
bargain. Stay away from empty threats
(punishments that you will never follow through
on). Your child will come to learn the value of your
words. If you don’t mean what you say, he/she
won’t take you seriously.
25.
26. 9. If possible, utilize a schedule with your child that
builds in chores, homework (if applicable), self-help
tasks (shower, brush teeth, etc.), and fun activities.
Have your child participate in creating the
schedule. Embed the fun activities into the
schedule so that your child alternates between
preferred and non-preferred activities. One part of
the schedule needs to be complete before moving
on to the next part.
27. Also, keep in mind that children with idle time on
their hands are looking for things to do, so
structuring their time can alleviate some impulsive
behaviors like running/jumping in the house.

Children’s Behavior at
http://www.educationandbehavior.com/using-
visual-schedules-2/
28. 10. Avoid arguing, long lectures, or sarcastic
remarks about your child’s behavior.
29.
30. Stick to your rules and don’t negotiate, go back and
forth, or argue with your child. If your child starts to
argue or tantrum after you have stated the rule and
shown empathy, let him/her know that you are not
going to discuss it anymore. Do not give attention
to a temper tantrum.
31. Once the tantrum is over, you can praise your child
for calming down, provide empathy again if
needed, and listen if your child wants to talk about
his/her feelings. Then direct your child back to the
task he/she is expected to do.

Tantrums at

stop-temper-tantrums-in-five-year-olds/
•
32. If your child is acting unsafe, protect him/her and
others from harm but do not try to negotiate with
your child or give in to the tantrum in order to
make it stop. This will only lead to more tantrums in
the future. If you are ever concerned for the safety
of your child or anyone else, contact the crisis
center or emergency number in your area.
