4. Begin with the End in Mind

Before and throughout a stressful situation, visualize how you want the situation to turn out for your child. Keeping your positive goals in mind can lessen the impact of negative remarks, decrease the intensity of your own reactions, and thus avoid heightening the conflict and worsening its outcome.

PRACTICING PERSONAL RENEWAL

Raising a child with ADHD places huge demands on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. To replenish yourself emotionally, feel more in control of your life, and better equip yourself to handle unexpected stressful events, consider the following suggestions. You’ve heard many of them before, but there’s bound to be something new as well. You deserve to take as good care of yourself as you do your child, and that means setting aside some time for yourself. If you’re tempted to protest that you have no time, see the suggestions in the sidebar (One Key to Survival: Time Management).
