When your child argues, negotiates, blames, or pushes back, it can be easy to get pulled into a debate and lose sight of what needed to happen in the first place.

In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor talks about how parents can “stay the course” when children and teens with ADHD resist reasonable expectations and responsibilities. Whether it’s brushing their teeth, completing schoolwork, doing a chore, attending an appointment, or following through on a commitment, the goal isn’t to win an argument. It’s to calmly keep the focus on what is healthy, important, and reasonable.

Dr. Taylor discusses common “detours” that can pull parents off course, including:
  • Arguing and repeated pushback
  • Negotiating to delay or avoid a task
  • Blaming others or shifting responsibility
  • Getting stuck in negativity
  • Avoiding non-preferred or difficult tasks
You’ll also hear practical ways to respond without turning every expectation into a lengthy discussion. Dr. Taylor explains when to keep your response short, when to offer help getting started, when an accommodation may be appropriate, and how collaborative problem-solving can still allow you to maintain an important expectation.

The bigger goal is helping children learn that they can do hard things. Following through - even when something isn’t preferred - can help build responsibility, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment over time.

Companion Worksheet: There is a worksheet available here with this episode to help you identify the detours that tend to show up in your family and think through ways to stay the course while still supporting your child.

Listen in for practical strategies you can begin using at home right away.
