ADHD Child at Home: Advanced Strategies for Managing Impulsivity and Opposition
Understanding the Mechanisms of ADHD and Intervening Effectively in Daily Life
👨👩👧 Target Audience Parents of ADHD children who wish to deepen their understanding of the disorder and develop concrete strategies to manage impulsivity, opposition, and difficult behaviors at home.
⏱️ Duration Comprehensive training divided into 5 progressive modules
💻 Format 100% online training, accessible from your computer or tablet. You progress at your own pace, whenever you want, without time constraints.
What You Will Learn
This training allows you to gain a deep understanding of the neurocognitive functioning of ADHD: why your child reacts in the moment, why they need to move, why their emotions are so intense. You will learn to identify risky situations and warning signs of overflow to intervene before a crisis.
Through intervention techniques tailored to each type of behavior (agitation, emotional crisis, voluntary opposition), you will discover how to maintain a firm yet caring framework. You will build educational coherence between home and school to provide your child with the stable references they need.
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
- Understand the neurocognitive functioning of ADHD: attention in bursts, inhibition deficit, neurological need to move
- Identify the three common types of behaviors: motor agitation, impulsivity, opposition, and provocations
- Understand the impact of emotions: emotional intensity, pervasive frustration, sense of injustice, cognitive overload at the end of the day
- Recognize the 5 categories of triggering situations: long tasks, unexpected transitions, sensory overload, vague instructions, end of the day
- Detect the warning signs of overflow: physical, verbal, and behavioral signs
- Implement immediate adaptations: breaking tasks into micro-steps, visual routines, timers, anticipations
- Structure the environment: quiet corner, noise-canceling headphones, defined spaces, color codes
- Apply positive reinforcement according to the 3 to 1 rule: three positive remarks for one negative
- Differentiating agitation, emotional crisis, and voluntary opposition to adapt your intervention
- Adopt the right posture during a crisis: calm proximity, short phrases, low and firm voice, avoid reasoning
- Use immediate intervention techniques: diverting attention, limited choices, active or calm breaks, sensory resets, calm box
- Manage specific situations: verbal provocations, systematic “no,” throwing objects, shouting, power struggles
- Support post-crisis: verbalization, repair, return to routine, rebuilding the bond
- Build home-school coherence: align rules, visual tools, and crisis management
- Establish a coherent framework at home: visual rules, “possible paths” cards, reinforcement system, structuring routines
- Monitor and adjust strategies: observation, weekly chart, progressive adaptation, valuing progress
- Recognize when to consult a specialist: warning signs and resource professionals
You will leave with concrete tools: illustrated visual rules, “possible paths” cards to manage emotions, positive reinforcement system, morning and evening routines, “sensory reset” techniques, calm box, and weekly tracking chart.
Bonus: Discovery of the COCO PENSE and COCO BOUGE applications, with their 30+ educational games and active breaks that perfectly meet the movement and regulation needs of ADHD children.
