Managing a child’s ADHD and promoting positive behaviours is a huge challenge for parents and teachers. One strategy that is often overlooked is the use of ‘incentives’. Some parents tell me that they’re uncomfortable with the idea of incentives, as they see it as a form of bribery. It’s i...

I've never been a big fan of documentaries. I think, for my generation at least, being forced to watch them at school gives them the reputation of being educational and thus ‘uncool’.
