6. Tell them firmly, never to pay money or agree to pay money for anything without your permission, and never to use your credit card details without your knowledge or permission. You just never know who could somehow get a hold of your credit card details.

7. Also, be sure to warn your kids about online chat rooms for kids. Sometimes, Adults will pretend to be kids in these chat rooms trying to lure kids into meeting them. Rather than chat rooms, I have set up AOL's INSTANT MESSENGER Program for my kids. This gives them more control over who they allow to be one of their "buddies' and they're not nearly as visible, as they would be in actual chat rooms. AOL INSTANT MESSENGER

We, as parents should certainly monitor what our kids are doing on NET, put safety features in place, depending on how they will be accessing NET. AOL allows you to set restrictions on certain sites [MSN as well], so your children can surf and be safe at same time.

5. The most important thing is NEVER punish your child while you are angry. Take a breather away from child before you hand out any punishment to your child. Disicipline that belittles or shames a child can truly be harmful.

6. Start rewarding instead of punishing. You've probably already discovered how useless it is to try to punish your child when he 's running around or tuning you out. What I have found with my child is how well he responds to simple rewards. Praise good behavior immediately ("You brushed your teeth, just like I asked you to! Thanks so much!") and give your child a reward that pleases him such as a special snack or extra time to watch TV, for example. The reward should be something he can enjoy right away; kids with ADHD don 't like to wait.

7. Realize you are not alone. There are many parents out there who have a child with ADHD. If you need to talk to someone, you can find support groups out there. Talk to your Doctor or Therapist. They can point you in right direction to find support.
