Do you model behavior for your kids?

As you probably already know, our little adhd kiddos sometimes don't know exactly how to act. If they are like mine, they a lot of times don't know how to act. LOL

One tactic that is working well with The Princess is modeling. When I talk to her about a particular behavior, we discuss what she should do. For example, one place we do modeling is with social situation at school.

She has a hard time finding friends to play with, so we talk about what she can say and do. It goes something like this:

Me: So, what do you say when you need to find a friend to play with?

Princess: <blank stare?

Me: You find kids who are doing something you want to do and you say "Hi, my name is Princess, can I play?"

At this point, I make her practice saying the words.

It may seem silly, but you have to remember that our kids have a hard time relating to others and may not know what to say.

Other situations I have done modeling with:

• Talking to the teacher
• Apologizing to sibling/parent
• Answering phone
• Finding someone to sit with at lunch
• Asking someone to a birthday party

So, the question is - do you model behavior for your children? In what situations? Leave it in the comments! :)
