In this episode I discuss how ADHD children can also be perfectionists! This is not normally associated with an ADHD child but it is a trait that has become more evident over the last number of years and is equally applicable to girls and boys. Initially I look at how this manifests itself and what difficulties it can lead to regarding non-completion of tasks. I then give a few simple strategies to help the teacher and the parent when they are engaging with a child who is becoming obsessed with perfectionism. As with all of the work I do anything of this nature a 'long term' strategy and consistency of application are required in order to embed the desired response from the child.
