Fred and Wilma's 5-year-old son Frank has just been diagnosed as having attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Fred and Wilma believe that now that Frank is taking the drug Ritalin everything will be fine

What can you tell Fred and Wilma about other treatments for ADHD?
What will be an ideal response?

A good answer will be similar to the following:
Although Ritalin helps ADHD children calm down, it alone does not help their school performance. The use of medication should be combined with instructions that help children regulate their behavior and attention. For example, children should be taught to remind themselves to read instructions before starting assignments. Children also need to be reinforced for inhibiting impulsive behavior. Parents also need to be taught to encourage attention and goal-oriented behavior at home. If parents reinforce attention and compliance and effectively punish inattention, their children often show fewer symptoms of ADHD.
