Behavior Modification

Behavior modification is a key part of most drug-free adhd treatment approaches, because it has long been used and known by another name, good parenting. It is nothing more than the systematic application of common sense wrapped in psychology's brand name, behavior modification.

This is not to underplay the tremendous amount of systematic research that has been conducted that document its positive effects, or if you will, the positive effects of good parenting. I just want to make the point that there is nothing really new, magical or not commonly known in this technology. It is the systematic rigorousness of this approach to ADHD that makes the difference.

The hooker in behavioral programs is the “systematic” part of the paradigm. Most parents of add children I work with have already tried many variations of behavior treatment, without success. This treatment only works if it is consistently applied. Getting it right sometimes or not always getting it wrong, will not work.

So what is the difficulty with systematically applying behavioral treatment? The typical problems is that applying its methods of good parenting often tap into emotions related to similar actions or situations in the parent’s own life. For example, if one is feeling stressed at work, it is very difficult for this not to be carried home and have those feelings interfere with parenting, no matter how hard you try.

This makes the parent feels bad when they take appropriate parenting action. Ultimately, parents are not going to do what feels bad, no matter what they know is good parenting. Thus, parents are often inconsistent.

There is a highly effective treatment alternative to drugs.

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.

Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of research and rethinking of ADHD theory and treatment. From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment and wrote my book, ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment. The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.

It will empower you an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
