Post 10: ADHD Why consequences aren’t working for your child.
Y’all are doing the consequences…
And nothing is changing.
Same behavior....Same attitude.....Same cycle.
And you’re like:
“What am I missing??”
Let me help you.
It’s not always that you’re not doing anything… it’s HOW you’re doing it.
🔥 1. You’re not consistent
One day you follow through.The next day you’re tired.
So now your child learns “Sometimes this matters… sometimes it doesn’t.”
And kids will ALWAYS test an inconsistent system.
🔥 2. You’re talking too much
Long lectures don’t change behavior.
Especially with ADHD.
After a certain point…they’re not even listening.
You’re just talking.
🔥 3. The consequence doesn’t cost them anything
“Go sit down.”“Stop doing that.”
That doesn’t hit....If it doesn’t require effort… it won’t change behavior.
🔥 4. You’re delaying the consequence
“I’ll deal with you later.”
No.
Later = forgotten.... Correction has to be immediate.
🔥 5. You’re not resetting the pattern
You corrected it once…but didn’t stay consistent after.
So the behavior comes right back.
🔥 6. You’re expecting one correction to fix everything
That’s not how kids work.Especially not ADHD.....It takes repetition.
It’s not that consequences don’t work… your system isn’t consistent enough yet.
Because when a child KNOWS:
“Every time I do this… THIS happens”
Behavior changes.
Later this evening…
I’m going to show you the exact system I use in my home......that makes consequences actually work.
Be ready.
