In this episode of Launching Forward, with ADHD I’m diving into one of the most common questions I get from parents: “How do I discipline a child with ADHD?” As both a math tutor and ADHD coach, I’ve worked with many families who struggle with keeping their kids focused, accountable, and on task—without creating conflict or frustration at home.Discipline for kids with ADHD isn’t about punishment—it’s about structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I share real-life examples, proven strategies I use with my students, and how to create an environment that builds responsibility, motivation, and mutual respect.Whether your child has trouble sitting down to do homework or staying on top of daily routines, this episode will give you practical tools to support your ADHD child in a way that works long-term.What you'll learn:Why ADHD affects executive functioning and task initiationHow to use positive reinforcement instead of punishmentThe importance of clear expectations and logical consequencesSimple ways to stay calm and lead with compassion when your child is strugglingHow to create a reward system that motivates your child (like Mission Bucks, screen time, or Spotify)Tips for using visual tools like calendars to reduce procrastination and improve follow-throughCommon discipline mistakes to avoid with ADHD kids (like shaming, inconsistency, or focusing only on negative behavior)CONNECT WITH LAILA ALIEH: Instagram: @lailaaliehEmail: [email protected] up for my monthly newsletterLaila is an ADHD Coach and Tutor for Students, ready to help people of all ages reach for the stars and discover their full potential.
