Episode Description

Behavioral parent training (BPT) can be especially effective for children with ADHD and related behavioral struggles. BPT teaches caregivers the skills and strategies that can help improve their child’s behavior, self-control, and self-esteem. BPT is recommended as a first-line treatment for young children with ADHD, and starting treatment with BPT may reduce the need for ADHD medication.

BPT can help children and teens improve their ability to stay on task and control impulses at home, in school, and in social settings. It can improve the parent-child relationship and promote calm in the household.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • About behavioral parent training and why it is especially helpful for children with ADHD
  • About the specific behaviors that BPT addresses
  • Skills and strategies to help your child learn to manage and improve their impulse control and emotional regulation
  • How BPT improves communication at home, in school and in social settings
  • Why it’s important to partner with your child’s teachers and how to collaborate effectively
  • How to use rewards and consequences to improve behaviors
