Don't do that, and No, negatively impacts his self-esteem. Parents of preschool children with ADHD travel a frustrating journey. They react instead of respond to their child's misbehavior. Their child is reprimanded for behavior that he cannot control due to his ADHD, which increases his inappropriate behavior.Additionally, socially inappropriate behavior may occur as a result of being treated negatively. Parents should not be blamed, because they may not know how to manage their child's behavior. The child's peers reject him for touching, pushing, and invading their space. Feeling excluded causes a preschool child with ADHD to become vulnerable, allowing him to be bullied. (Yes, even in preschool!) Parents feel frustration, stress and guilt. Parents are taught in this book to diminish their child's misbehaviors by following simple, step-by-step methods to facilitate positive behavior.

Filled with the wisdom gleaned from more than 20 years of professional experience in private practice, and teaching both university and elementary-aged students, Dr. Rapoport’s book is a “must have” for parents of young children with ADHD. Regardless of their level of ADHD knowledge, parents will find effective, take-home tips in this book – especially ways to enhance social skills, to manage challenging behaviors, and to address bullying in preschool children.  Dr. Rapoport validates the feelings of stress, anxiety and guilt that parents frequently report, while providing effective strategies for preventing and intervening in the myriad of social, psychological and behavioral difficulties associated with raising young children with ADHD. This book will expand parents’ awareness of typical preschool behavior, ways to manage their child’s screen time (e.g., cell phones, Ipads, tablets, computers, TV), and, appropriate apps and computer games to promote pre-academic (i.e., naming colors, letter recognition, counting) and social-emotional skills (i.e., identifying feelings, managing emotions, and solving problems). Additional resources contained in the book provide parents an avenue for learning more about non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD including the importance of play, setting up routines for success, and modeling prosocial behaviors in everyday interactions. Teachers will also find this book helpful for assisting parents and for working with young children in the preschool classroom. I strongly recommend this book for all parents of young children with ADHD - it contains both cutting-edge and time-tested intervention techniques. This work reflects the wave of the future as professionals explore ways to mitigate and reduce the adverse effects of ADHD in early childhood. -- Anne Ellison, author of Interventions for ADHD: Treatment in developmental context. New York: Guilford Press\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides expert guidance for parents of young children diagnosed with or presenting with symptoms of ADHD.  To understand what underlies ADHD-related social-emotional and behavioral struggles, as well as the best-practice strategies and supports that can be implemented at home (and other environments) makes a huge difference in the success of preschoolers with ADHD. Parent training in communication and behavior management strategies that the research has shown to be most effective for children with ADHD is the first-line intervention recommended for preschoolers with this disorder.  Dr. Rapoport shares a host of effective strategies, tools, tips, and resources to help and support in this regard. -- Sandra F.
