Attention Deficit Disorder and Troubled Teens: Intervention

In our work with teens struggling with attention defiicit/hyperactivity disorder, and parents trying to work with the often difficult symptoms of ADD and ADHD problems, we have discovered that parents are too often so stressed by their children's behavior that they feel unable to address the root of the problems.

We recommend both therapy and an alternative approach to parenting, especially prior to employing overly aggressive authoritative intervention (incarceration or enrollment in a residential treatment program), unless your child's issues are so severe that such intervention is deemed necessary by you (the parents) and a therapeutic professional.

Unless safety and security is an issue, we normally recommend a graduated plan of intervention that begins with the home, employing tools such as The Total Transformation Program^®, then extends, as needed, to therapy, community, and out-of-home care. This Non-Impulsive approach is important when coping with ADD and ADHD issues. It also saves both time and money, as the more intensive interventions ALWAYS cost much, much more.

In addition to our Strong Model Workshops and Coaching Services, we use this site to maximize the amount of information you can obtain on Teen Attention Deficit Disorder.

Note: Many of the entertaining and inspiring Workshops and Coaching Services found on InsightPros provide specific methods and approaches parents should use when working with teens struggling with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Attention Deficit Disorder and Troubled Teens: Parenting Relationship

Parenting Awareness: A troubled teen having problems with attention deficit disorder may display: lack of attention to detail, careless mistakes in school work, easily distracted, forgetful or appears to not listen when spoken to, doesn't follow instructions, fails to complete school work or chores, has difficulty organizing tasks and personal belongings, dislikes concentration-intensive activities (such as schoolwork).

In addition, an ADHD child often has difficulty sitting still, fidgets and squirms, talks out of turn or excessively in academic settings, high energy level (sometimes associated with risky behavior), interrupts frequently, intrudes into conversations or games, acts or speaks impulsively, and displays immaturity socially.

Numerous parents of teens with attention deficit disorder have attended InsightPros' Strong Model workshops. Our approach to the "anxiety of responsibility" strikes a "chord of truth" from the perspective of parents who have become frustrated with traditional, dogmatic discipline. Tradition doesn't work with those who struggle with attention deficit disorder, and parents know it. As mentioned elsewhere on this page, The Total Transformation Program^® outlines an exceptional alternative approach to working with children suffering with attention deficit disorder.

Between InsightPros workshops, The Total Transformation Program^®, and the development of this site and its resources, we hope to provide increasingly relevant resources to parents in need of dire help for their ADD and ADHD children.
