Age group(s) for which this technique is helpful: Preschool and Younger Elementary School Middle School High School & Beyond
Primarily used to improve behavior: Both At Home and At School
Instructions for using this technique:
Because so many behaviors associated with ADHD kids are labeled "bad", parents can have a positive impact on the child's life by taking them to church and building their lives on a biblical foundation. I am a Christian mom who teaches Sunday school and I am director of our church's Wed. Night Kids Ministry. The wonderful example that Jesus is and the lessons he taught about love and forgiveness are very positive influences on a young person's heart and mind.
Other information parents should consider before using this technique:
If you are an athiest or have some other religion, you are not going to make an impact. But when kids are taught about Jesus and his love and compassion and about the Holy Spirit and when you become saved, it leads and guides and convicts of wrongs, then the child begins to alter his behavior with the help of the Holy Spirit.
