Practical suggestions are offered for parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for managing the behavior of their children through the use of positive and negative consequences. Suggestions focus on the child getting up in the morning, getting ready for school, homework, chores, dinner time, free time, bed time, weekends, shopping, and relationships with siblings. In covering these aspects of family life, parents are reminded that children with ADHD need time to adjust to new situations and the transitions that occur in daily life. Parent are urged to keep in mind that the child's attention and concentration problems, rather than their attitude, are often issues when doing chores and other activities. An explanation of behavior management provides examples of positive and negative consequences and ineffective consequences. It is noted that two key factors in using consequences are consistency and timing: rules should be firm and consistently enforced, and consequences should occur as soon as possible after the behavior one is trying to change.
