CHANGING BEHAVIORS The Kit gives you detailed guidelines to get kids started in developing new behaviors and abandoning inappropriate behaviors, including 9 ready-to-use exercises like "Sample Modeling Behavior" and techniques for using time out, grounding and ignoring productively. BUILDING SOCIAL SKILLS A variety of reproducibles are included to help kids learn social graces, how to play by the rules, control impulsivity and anger, overcome the common problem of low self-esteem and more. You'll also find a "Behavior Check Card" and "Social Graces Checklist" to foster home-school cooperation, and "Positive Strokes" examples to build healthy self-esteem. SOLVING HOMEWORK ISSUES The Kit presents practical strategies and forms to solve problems with homework, such as losing or forgetting work, lying about homework, and requiring constant supervision, including reproducible organizers like a "Homework Problem Checklist" and "Homework Check Card." IMPROVING CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR You'll also find tested materials and techniques to keep the child focused and on task in the classroom while ensuring that all students are learning, including a ready-to-use "Behavior Contract," "Weekly Notes," and "Home-School Behavior Chart." COPING WITH KIDS Plus the Kit gives you a host of survival strategies to help teachers and parents reduce their own stress, get support from others, and develop an assertive style to keep kids from "pressing their buttons." In short, the ADD/ADHD BEHAVIOR-CHANGE RESOURCE KIT gives you virtually all you need to help kids take charge of their own behavior and build effective life and social skills. As the author states, "When there is increased confidence in dealing with difficult ADD/ADHD behaviors and where there is consistent use of the most effective techniques, then opportunities for academic, personal, and other successes can be achieved for all individuals."
