Free webinar for parents of children with ADHD
Tired of constant arguing or defiance at home?
Learn how to stop the arguing, reduce oppositional behavior, and improve your child's behavior and cooperation.
Hosted by Ryan Wexelblatt, LCSW ยท Creator of The Confident Parents, Capable Kids Method by ADHD Dude
Constantly dealing with arguing is stressful and emotionally draining. In the middle of it, you may respond in ways you don't feel good about. Afterward, you're left wondering what you're doing wrong that your child argues so much and fights you on the simplest things.
Feeling this way doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. You've likely been given parenting advice that sounds compassionate and validating, yet doesn't work for your child.
Your child argues about anything, and before you know it, you're in the "argument vortex"

Nothing is resolved, and it often escalates into a full blow-up
The longer this goes on, the more entitled your child feels to argue and be oppositional with you. As the arguing increases, so does the strain on your relationship and your whole household.
Arguing and uncooperative behavior don't improve by talking about feelings, therapy, or constant negotiation.
They improve when you change how you respond to their behavior and have a proactive, step-by-step plan.
You can help your child's arguing decrease and cooperation increase with a plan that isn't shaming or punitive, and that helps your child learn how capable they are.

Send me the webinar & slidesWhy does my ADHD child argue so much?
Usually two things drive it, and neither is defiance. One is cognitive flexibility, an executive function skill that's delayed in ADHD: adjusting to unexpected changes and moving on when things don't go their way. The other is novelty-seeking: your emotional reaction is interesting to your child and gives them a sense of control over the interaction. The webinar shows you how to respond to both.
I've tried gentle parenting with my ADHD child. Why isn't it stopping the arguing?
Gentle parenting sounds compassionate and validating, yet it's often ineffective for children with ADHD. Arguing decreases when you change how you respond to the behavior, with a plan that isn't shaming or punitive. The webinar shows you how.
What should I do in the moment when my ADHD child argues?
The webinar shows you how to stop getting pulled into the argument, reasoning, and negotiation vortex, step by step, including what to say and what to do if your child keeps pushing.
How do I start reducing arguing and oppositional behavior?
The webinar walks you through the pre-steps: what to put in place before the behavior happens, so your child knows how you'll be changing your response. You'll also learn the daily expectation that increases cooperation.
