These resources focus on how discipline for children with ADHD and learning differences should be rooted in understanding and support rather than punishment. Clinical psychologist Dr. Kristin Carothers explains that behaviors like forgetfulness, impulsivity, or emotional outbursts are often the result of neurological differences, not willful disobedience. As such, effective discipline should prioritize teaching self-regulation, setting clear and consistent expectations, and building routines that help kids manage executive function challenges.
They also highlight strategies such as using visual schedules, offering natural consequences, and reinforcing positive behaviors, and stress the importance of collaboration between parents and schools to ensure consistency and support across environments. Overall, they encourage caregivers to view discipline as an opportunity to guide and connect with their child, helping them build the tools they need to succeed, rather than simply trying to control behavior.
