When children feel they've been treated unfairly, retaliation can seem completely justified in their minds. Whether it's yelling, hitting, breaking a sibling's belongings, or trying to "get even," these moments can quickly escalate if we focus only on the behavior.

In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor shares a practical, values-based approach to helping children and teens with ADHD move beyond revenge and develop healthier ways to respond to conflict. Learn how identifying core values, practicing active listening, and teaching concrete problem-solving strategies can help children build self-control, emotional regulation, and stronger relationships.

In this episode, you'll learn:
  • Why children with ADHD may retaliate when they feel wronged.
  • How to use core values to guide behavior and decision-making.
  • Ways to help children pause before reacting.
  • When retaliation may point to a larger family or classroom issue.
  • How consequences, forgiveness, and empathy all play a role in long-term growth.
