10 Social skills To add Peace Of Mind

You've had a few friends when growing up with ADD? ADD If you are a parent, if the lack of social skills in your child just pieces? It 'true that children have no social skills until they are taught, but did you know that 60% of all people with ADD can never have the ability to get along well in society?

The problem is not gender based, either. ADD boys and girls have equal difficulty to be part of a group. However, children do not agonize over losing a friend as a girl and you think that most people really like them. The girls fail to recognize that they lose friends because of their tendency to be authoritarian and control, and may even fall into depression when things like this.

A huge factor problem of the person with ADD is that society does not think before acting. I am impulsive. Even when I thought of the consequences of an action, they still can not stop in some cases. They lack the little voice inside their head that says, "If you do this, you will hurt someone." There's "superego, as Freud called it. Even recognizing that there will be a problem, I can not adjust their behavior. Some can not even see the cause and effect.

What makes this happen?

They can not see cause and effect of their own behavior, these nuances of behavior, others are just outside their realm of understanding.

Both children and adults with ADD can reinforce these behaviors, when in social situations if:

* Smile and greet the other
* Listen to other people who are talking about.
* Apologize when you realize that someone else is hurt by something said or done.
* Give compliments to others.
* Demonstrate to others that are interested in them with questions.
* To thank and show that it means.
* Avoid walking when talking.
* Wait to speak until the other person has finished.
* Watching people's eyes.

Be sure to give your child ADD direction in these areas, and if you're an adult ADD, then try to remember these same points. Try to be friendly and flexible. It 'difficult for some people with ADD, but to get people to like you is not difficult. If you have an ADD child, realize that your example is of paramount importance. If you have problems getting along with people, probably, too.

The work on promoting greater awareness of body signals of others and the tone of their voice. Make your child realize that when someone frowning, are not happy and see if I can understand why. Then, make the changes to alleviate the situation. You must be vigilant and to repeat the process over and over again, but the results are an adult happier, especially if the child is one of many that leads to ADD all his life.
