LANGLANG的成长记录

Tips for Parents给父母的几条建议

Following are examples that might help with your child’s behavior:

• Create a routine. Try to follow the same schedule every day, from wake-up time to bedtime.

形成一种日常惯例。尝试每天按照同样的日程表落实，包括从起床到晚上入睡。

• Get organized. Encourage your child to put schoolbags, clothing, and toys in the same place every day so your child will be less likely to lose them.

       变的有组织计划性。鼓励小孩子每天都把书报、衣物和玩具放回同样的地方，这样可以   减少丢三落四的发生。

• Manage distractions. Turn off the TV, limit noise, and provide a clean workspace when your child is doing homework. Some children with ADHD learn well if they are moving, or listening to background music. Watch your child and see what works.

       管理好分心。在孩子做作业时给孩子提供过一个清爽简单的环境，比如关掉电视，避免噪音。一些ADHD小孩子会在持续动或者听着背景音乐的时候学习效率更高。观察自己的孩子看看哪一种更有效。

• Limit choices. Offer choices between a few things so that your child doesn’t get overwhelmed and overstimulated. For example, offer choices between a few options, such as this outfit or that one, this meal or that one, or this toy or that one.

给他有限选择。给孩子少一些选择，这样小孩子就不会被过多选择而变得无所适从或者过度兴奋刺激的，比如让孩子选择这套装备或者那套，吃这种餐或那一种餐，选这个玩具或那个玩具。

• Be clear and specific when you talk with your child. Let your child know you are listening by describing what you heard them say. Use clear, brief directions when they need to do something.

和孩子谈话要清楚和具体。通过描述给孩子听他讲了什么让孩子知道你是认真倾听他说话的。当孩子需要去做什么事情的时候给他们清晰、简短的指令。

• Help your child plan. Break down complicated tasks into simpler, shorter steps. For long tasks, starting early and taking breaks may help limit stress.

帮助孩子去设定计划。把复杂的任务拆解为简短的步骤，对于较长的任务，早一点动手，还有中途休息一下可能有助于减小压力。

• Use goals and praise or other rewards. Use a chart to list goals and track positive behaviors, then let your child know they have done well by telling your child or rewarding efforts in other ways. Be sure the goals are realistic—baby steps are important!

使用目标和夸赞或其它奖励。利用图标列出目标，找寻他比较积极正面额行为，然后告诉孩子哪些行为他干的很棒，或者通过其它方式奖励他的努力。要确保这些目标是可实现的，每一小步都是很重要的。

• Discipline effectively. Instead of yelling or spanking, use timeouts or removal of privileges as consequences for inappropriate behavior.

有效地纪律。对于孩子发生不妥当的行为不应该采取大声斥责或者打骂，而是应该通过取消或暂停特权奖励的方式来应对。

• Create positive opportunities.   Children with ADHD may find certain situations stressful. Finding out and encouraging what your child does well — whether it's school, sports, art, music, or play — can help create positive experiences.

创造积极正面的机会。ADHD孩子可能会对某种情形或者要求会感觉到压力大，持续发现这些情况，并不断鼓励孩子可以做的好的事情，不管这些事情是学习上的，还是体育、艺术、音乐或玩耍，这样做都可以帮助孩子感受积极正面的生活体验。

• Provide a healthy lifestyle. Nutritious food, lots of physical activity, and sufficient sleep are important; they can help keep ADHD symptoms from getting worse.

给孩子提供一个健康的生活方式。营养丰富的事务，大量的体育活动，充足的睡眠都是很重要的，都可以让ADHD的孩子症状不会变的更严重起来。
