Motivating the Oppositional Child – Episode 7

ADHD or Active Child?

But today we learned that the low auditory (half of the children labeled ADHD) often blame others for their misbehaviors, partly because they don’t know how to speak their heart. We learned how to teach someone to speak his heart when he doesn’t know his heart, doesn’t have the words to match his feelings and doesn’t believe he will benefit from the effort because all previous attempts have failed.

You solve all those problems by providing most of the words in a structured framework that touches the essence of what the child needs to express to heal. The two tools you use are the Love Letter and Fair Fight. Eventually, the child makes these tools her own. As an added benefit you can also use these tools with your spouse.
