The parent-child relationship has been concluded to be a significant family factor influence on children’s normal and abnormal social, behavioral and emotional development (Cox and Paley, 1997; Paley et al. 2000; Waters and Cummings, 2000).

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a well-known problem across the world. The most controversial topics when it comes to ADHD are the drugs used to treat the disorder. It is commonly known that ADHD represents something along the lines of “one is too hyper and cannot pay attention”, but that doesn’t mean they should be forced to take a medication that will potentially affect their well-being for the rest of their life.

Upon choosing this topic for research, I thought about the experience that I have in this department. I have none. I do not possess a single shred of experience with ADHD, but I have had the privilege of knowing a few people with this attention disorder.

My final thoughts about medication treatment for teens that have ADHD, I believe you have to look at two points of view. One as a parent having the best solutions for your child, and two on what your child thinks about any treatment before going any further. A child feels when they are different or special of rejection from their classmates, because of their responses or actions on what they say or do, are completely different than others. Not everyone understands ADHD, and sometimes they fear of one’s action because they don't know how to accept it. It is not a perfect world out there, and sometimes a child does or will experience criticism as they go through elementary and middle school. A child grows, socialize, play, and learn they mature

The article involves the use of restraining techniques (handcuffs) on children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) by police officers. The incident occurred recently, a Kentucky sheriff was videotaped handcuffing an 8 years old child at the elbow because the child wrist was too small to fit the handcuff. According to the news article, this is not the first time a child with ADHD is being subjected to this type of treatment, the same police officer that was involved in this incident has been accused of unlawfully restraining an 8 years boy and a 9 years old girl, both child also suffered from ADHD and apparently, it is a common practice for police officers to use restrain on children who are deemed out of control due to ADHD

“Every child’s needs are specific, and even if they share the same diagnosis as another student, that’s surely no guarantee that they will learn or relate in the same way.” (5, para. 21) In order for ADHD treatment to be effective, it must include a combination of counseling – individual or family- education, and behavioral therapy (2). A treatment plan that combines behavior management exercises and medications are the most effective interventions for ADHD children, adolescence, and teenagers, but they should always begin the treatment with behavior interventions – not medication (2;4).

The second form of treatment options that are available include therapy. Thompson and Miller (2012) explain that behavioral therapy is the best form of therapy for an individual who has ADHD (pg 4). Behavioral therapy can be defined as a form of therapy designed to teach an individual to react to situations in the correct form with the help of positive reinforcement and a reward system. When a negative response is produced the therapist will not reward the individual, but instead try to get the individual to produce the correct response to the given situation. Behavioral therapy can be used in any setting, whether it be in a therapist’s office, at home, at school, in public, or at work. Thompson and Miller (2012) explains that the combination of both medication and behavioral therapy can be extremely beneficial and can produce the best results (pg 5).

The Triple-P proves its significance in the ADHD treatment with the results of the therapy. Thus, the outcome of the program allows the child to assess the situation as less critical and is a necessary mental resource for a rational approach to it. Moreover, it allows parents to show emotional sensitivity, compassion and impartiality in their interactions with children, as a result of which the child becomes more subjectively safe and stress-resistant. Nevertheless, it is significant to note particular restrictions for using the Positive Parenting Program in ADHD. A relative contraindication for using the method is the low motivation of parents to participate in it.
