Coping Skills: Valuable Help for Children with ADHD

Failure is hard. The disappointment of failure that follows an honest effort to succeed is enough to get anyone feeling blue. Children with ADHD are not immune to this disappointment; on the contrary, having attention difficulties in this unsympathetic world is almost a guarantee that feelings of failure for the ADHD child will crop up, even when these feelings have no basis. For this reason, help for children with ADHD must equip the child with coping skills so that failure does not scar a child for life.

Help for children with ADHD in the form of coping skills is a process by which you teach a child how to turn failure into a positive. This may seem like an impossible task for a child, since the child is feeling grief over defeat. Here are some steps you can take to provide valuable coping skills and help for children with ADHD:

Put the failure in perspective. Find ways and examples to explain how the setback is not the end of the world.

Use examples from real life. Share stories about your own failures and how they eventually worked out for the best. Also look up stories about real-life heroes—sports stars, presidents, inventors, movie stars, etc.—who experienced failure yet eventually rose to the top.

Write down all the positives that come from the disappointment. Help for children with ADHD can come in the form of a list of positives that he or she can refer back to. For example, the child may have failed to win a soccer game, but you can point out the good plays he or she made during the game.

Give the child a creative outlet for stress. Let the child release some disappointment through exercise, drawing, writing, and other venting techniques. Creative outlets offer extra help for children with ADHD because they give the child a sense of accomplishment.

Explain the importance of perseverance. All failures offer the chance for your child to learn and grow. While failure makes your child feel hurt and disappointed, the key is to keep trying because your child is bound to do better next time. A reason to hope for the future is perhaps the best help for children with ADHD.
