Bipolar disorder in children can be very different than those that are experienced by adults, this is a known fact. Other symptoms like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression can be confused with bipolar. When bipolar is found in children it significantly interferes with their everyday life at home, in school and with friends.

Early Signs

Are you finding your children not listening, their behaviors outrageous, public behaviors embarrassing and to top it all up they wont do as they are told. Well, you are not alone with your problems and getting your children to behave is much easier than you think, but, there is a right and a wrong way to do these with your bipolar child.

Doing it the Wrong Way

Because we have been brought up by shouting and punishment we believe that it will work for bipolar in children. The fact is, it won't work. It is important to remember you are dealing with a brain problem, not your unusual ordinary child. Even when we yell, shout, and hand out different types of punishments, three out of four bipolar kids get up to behaviors they already KNOW are wrong and yet, continue to do them. It is surprising, that the key to ending these problem behaviors is actually to STOP threatening punishments and instead offer rewards.

Addicted to their Behaviors

If you have any idea of being addicted to something, you can at least have some idea on children who are like gamblers and addicted. These children are addicted to their very behaviors - such as temper tantrums and fighting with other children. We as parents must first understand and know why the child is doing what they are doing. Once we know these facts, you can now begin to give positive encouragements to your children, which will eventually change them into good and tolerable children.

Knowing What Works

May have a negative result rather than a positive one, as we have seen before, arguing and shouting doesn't work. When you try and get children to clean up, help in the compound outside, or take responsibility for their toys it doesn't have to be a task! After every responsibility try to make a big show that what they have done has been appreciated and thank them for what they have done. Any opportunity offers them, a congratulatory hug or word. A positive remark here and there can work wonders. Doing this you in are in fact training their mind to react to positive attitudes. These formula, Negative action = Negative reaction and Positive action from parents = Positive reaction from kids may be good to remember every time you interact with your child.

The Problems with Diagnosing Children

Bipolar in children can be very difficult to diagnose, because of other symptoms not related to bipolar.

All bipolar drugs are powerful " which can result in overdose.

Have Been Put to the Test

Proven by lots of parents, the body can recover itself without the use of strong bipolar medication. The two words required are being POSITIVE and learning to stay PATIENT.
