1 Building a child s self esteem Please note, the content of this programme is advisory only and not a substitute for professional and/or medical advice. If you would like any further advice or have any concerns regarding any aspects of either your or your child s health or medication, please consult a healthcare professional.

2 Building a child s self esteem In children with ADHD, what can low self-esteem lead to? An expectation of being criticised and shouted at A loss of confidence in being able to do everyday tasks. All of these are true That s why it is important that at home and school, adults take steps to build the child s feelings of: Self-confidence Self-belief Self-worth. How can parents and teachers do this?

3 Focus on the steps within a task, not just the end product Break a large task down into small, manageable chunks Introduce frequent, short breaks that coincide with the end of the child s concentration span Provide encouragement at the end of each chunk of work, building their confidence in being able to complete the overall task.

4 Show faith in the child s abilities Where possible, choose and tailor tasks to match what they are good at and build on their strengths Keep praising good actions. Children with ADHD can find it hard to accept compliments Raise the child s own expectations about what they can realistically achieve: They may stop trying if they encounter obstacles and need extra encouragement If the adults around them have low expectations of what they can achieve, the child will too.

5 Put mistakes into perspective Keep setting clear boundaries about what is acceptable, and help the child to understand that everyone makes mistakes Recognise that children with ADHD may seem to: Take a long time to learn from their mistakes Make the same mistake repeatedly. A lot of patience may be needed, as this may be a long journey for the child Help the child to see smaller mistakes in the context of bigger achievements For example, when correcting punctuation in a piece of work, praise their handwriting/ideas/story.
