Epic Tantrums

[Lee-Bee]

The mother backs away slowly until she can't hear you talking to her and the dad just cuts you off by talking to his child and ignoring you? The poor child. How will he ever learn how to behave with parents acting like that?

If you truly believe the child has ADHD then your strategies will have to be very different. Children with ADHD cannot contain their emotions or understand your reactions the same as typically developing children. They just won't learn to smarten up if you walk away and ignore them. They need to be taught the skills needed and they need consistent care at home and daycare and school.

I don't know what to suggest if home is acting like that, they clearly are not seeing the light. Just do as you can to make it through your day as best you can. Hopefully school (when he starts) will have the resources needed to help him and get the parents on board.
