Abstract

ADHD is characterized by triad of symptoms (hyperactivity, inattention and / or impulsivity) that cause functional impairment in a child’s social, educational and relational roles. Those impairments bring many challenges to children with ADHD and their parents in day to day family life, as well as in learning and social situations in school and with peers. The challenges in family start when a child, because of his/her impairments, neglects chores and schoolwork, ignores family schedules, behave inappropriate in the given context and insensitive to social expectations. Parenting children with ADHD is a big challenge, especially when dealing with a child’s noncompliance and oppositional behavior. Staying calm and positive in crisis situations is one among crucial recommendations for parents.
