Parenting your Child with ADHD
Our ADHD parent group is open to Camden and Islington parents/carers of children aged 5-12 years. This group is for children with a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD but if the child is on the waiting list to be assessed we will allow parents to attend from session 2.
Brandon Centre offers a free 6 week parenting programme for Camden and Islington parents and carers of children and young people aged 5-12 years with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD.
The programme has been written and devised in line with NICE guidelines on the treatment for children with ADHD and incorporates the 123 Magic™ approach.
The group currently runs online only.
Sessions cover the following areas:
- Providing information on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Realistic expectations
- The 123 Magic™ approach to effective discipline for difficult behaviours
- Giving clear and calm instructions
- Developing schedules and routines
- Rewards and praise
- Building your child’s self-confidence
- Staying positive and looking after yourself
- A follow up session to share successes and receive advice on how to overcome struggles
- Time within sessions to meet other parents with children with ADHD and share stories and advice
