Impulsivity in Children Course

What does it mean to be impulsive? Impulsivity means acting without thinking. Does your child have trouble waiting and standing in lines? Are they constantly interrupting you? Impulse control issues are common in children and can be a sign of ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD includes impulsive behavior, hyperactivity, and trouble with attention. If your child has trouble stopping an action or thinking before they act, they are acting in an impulsive way.

This course teaches you about impulsivity, when it may be ADHD, and what you can do every day to help your child with impulse control. We talk about how to control impulsivity, nutrition, diet, morning and bedtime routines, and impulsivity in the context of ADHD and autism. Want to help your child today? Take this course.
