Why Traditional Parenting Techniques Make ADHD Children More Defiant
(And What You Should Do Instead)
In 2017, researchers from 9 countries scanned the brains of people aged 4 to 63 years old.
1,713 of those people had ADHD, while 1,529 did not.
When they analyzed all the data, they found people with ADHD had 5 specific regions of the brain, which were slightly smaller in size compared to a typical brain.
It turns out these small differences in size are responsible for most of the ADHD symptoms. Because these are the regions that are responsible for executive function skills such as emotional regulation, attention regulation, impulse control, time management, planning, and rioritizing.
In children, these might manifest as unpleasant or unwanted behaviors.
Do You Notice Any Of These Unwanted Behaviors In Your Child?
Here are some that parents most commonly observe in their kids with ADHD:
Problems Controlling Impulses
Negative emotions expressed more frequently
Interrupting others
Talking excessively
Difficulty waiting for things
Quick and intensive display of emotions
Failing to anticipate the consequences of risky behavior
Struggles With Attention
Can’t recall what they were told to do
Not listening to what is being said
Starting a new task before finishing old ones
Losing or forgetting things
Lack of focus and concentration
Easily distracted
Need more reminders
High Levels of Energy
Moving about a room much more than others
Restless, fidgety, and “squirmy”
Touching things or even others
Climbing on things excessively when young
Running about a room more than others
Engages in all sorts of attention-seeking antics
This small difference in brain size also explains why children with ADHD have emotional levels that are around 1.5 – 3 years below their peers.
So, if you have a 10-year-old, they are often operating like an 8-year-old in terms of social and emotional behaviors.
They love things 8-year-olds find fascinating – the same TV shows, games, and humor…
… And they can control their emotions, impulses, and attention as well as an 8-year-old.
So Here’s What’s Happening In Your Child’s Brain
Simply put…
When you give that final warning or frustrated command, your ADHD child’s prefrontal cortex – the brain’s behavior control center – actually shuts down.
Their survival instincts kick in.
They’re physically incapable of making good choices in that moment.
The result? More defiance. More meltdowns. More parent frustration.
And the cycle continues.
But Here’s The Good News
When I work with ADHD kids today, I can get them to follow my instructions without ever raising my voice.
Sometimes I’ll even whisper and they’ll be on their way to do their homework, chores, or simply calm them down.
You see, just as there are positive discipline techniques for neurotypical kids that work really well…
… There are ADHD-friendly parenting techniques that work beautifully with ADHD kids.
I have been using them consistently for the past 40 years of working with all kinds of kids…
These Parenting Techniques, Tailored To The Unique Wiring Of The ADHD Brain Stood The Test Of Time…
And today I will share them with you…
… So that you can improve your child’s behavior without breaking their spirit.
… So that your child does what they’re supposed to do…
… Without having to repeat your instructions 100 times, yelling, threats, or punishments.
Who Am I… And How I Can Help You Turn Chaos Into Cooperation?
Hi, I’m Marko Juhant.
I’m a Parenting Expert from Slovenia – a small country in Europe.
And without ADHD I wouldn’t be who I am today.
I wouldn’t have spent hours and hours researching different parenting strategies late into the night day by day…
I wouldn’t have wanted to get “to the bottom” of every challenging parenting situation I didn’t immediately know how to solve…
I likely wouldn’t have developed such an extreme curiosity about the world that led me to help thousands of parents all over the world…
But most importantly…
… I wouldn’t have developed an ADHD-Friendly Discipline System designed to help your child to do what they’re supposed to do.
I Still Remember When I First Worked With A Child With ADHD
At first, I felt like something was different about this boy…
… But couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
He felt very similar to me in some ways.
So I decided to investigate further.
I convinced their parents to get him tested for ADHD.
My Suspicions Came Through
In that moment, I realized that many of my go-to parenting strategies wouldn’t work for him.
After all, I designed them with neurotypical kids in mind.
So I had to find a new way to help him…
An approach that I wish my parents had used when they raised me.
After another cycle of deep research, exploration, and sleepless nights, I developed a new set of parenting techniques…
And they worked!
I’ve since used those same parenting strategies – ones that I developed through hundreds of hours of trial and error, research, and digging – with parents of thousands of kids with ADHD.
And For The First Time, I’m Sharing Them With You
I didn’t want to write another parenting book with an overwhelming amount of theory…
My stack of best-selling books that helped 100,000+ parents raise their kids
I also didn’t want to record another parenting course that demands long hours from you to go through.
I want you to see the improvement in your child’s behavior fast.
That’s why sat down and distilled only the best and most effective parenting tailored for kids with ADHD…
… And packed them neatly inside the 21-day parenting challenge.
Introducing…

Here’s Just A Tiny Preview Of What’s Inside The ADHD-Friendly Challenge
In the Challenge, I’ll guide you through the complete 3-step ADHD-Friendly Discipline System:
Step #1: Correct your child’s behavior without triggering a “World War III”
Kids with ADHD often resist doing things they are supposed to do because they find them boring or because they simply don’t want to do them.
In these situations, you need bulletproof techniques that tap into your child’s unique brain blueprint without triggering their defiant response.
Here’s a snippet of what you’ll learn in the first part:
8 “Instant Correctors”: ADHD-tailored techniques rooted in positive discipline to get your child to do what they’re supposed to do without resistance
How To Assign Consequences that help your child learn from their misbehavior without breaking their spirit
What To Do When Your Child Crosses A Boundary so that they take ownership of their behavior without shaming and blaming
A Fun Way To Tap Into Your Child’s Internal Motivation without buying them a new toy, a phone, or a video game
After mastering these techniques, you’ll no longer feel powerless when your child misbehaves.
They’ll learn how to respect rules and boundaries and behave in a way that makes you a proud parent.
Step #2: Develop a stronger bond with your child so that your corrections become more effective
Kids with ADHD commonly feel their parents (and other people around them) don’t understand them.
They get this feeling when parents get mad at them for behavior outside of their control.
This fragments the trust between you and your child.
They start lying to you more often about their schoolwork, who they’re hanging out with, and what they’re going through.
They also become more defiant.
That’s why, in the second part of the Challenge, you’ll learn:
6 “Connection Protocols” to build a trusting and loving relationship with your child.
How To Calm Down Your Child In The Moment and set the stage for more meaningful conversation and cooperation once emotions have settled
A Specific Set Of Questions that will help you get to the root cause of your child’s misbehavior. Often, ADHD kids become defiant when they’re afraid, anxious, or worried.
A Simple Assistance Protocol that will help you: (1) recognize when your child genuinely can’t do something, and (2) help them master the task in four steps.
The #1 Thing Your Child Craves And How To Fulfill It: Get this right, and you’ll instantly improve their cooperation.
Once you build a stronger connection with your child, they’ll start to trust you more.
In turn, they’ll be more likely to follow the rules and boundaries you set.
This means you won’t have to correct their behavior all the time because they’ll be more likely to learn how to behave appropriately.
Step #3: Empower your child to make good decisions on their own
Finally, you have to give your child skills so they can manage their behavior on their own.
Unmanaged ADHD leads to a whole lot of other problems down the road – from problems in intimate relationships, driving a car, managing money, or holding a job.
To set your ADHD child up for success and happiness, in the last part of the Challenge you’ll learn:
7 “Independence Conditioning Techniques” that will empower your child to manage their behavior when you’re not around (when they’re in school, with friends, or other public events)
Behavior Makeover: Watch your child naturally adopt appropriate social behavior without constant reminders. They’ll become a considerate guest and gracious host.
Financial Wisdom Booster: Your child will master the art of smart spending and saving, so they develop a healthy relationship with money and grow into financially responsible adults.
Social Language Mastery: Your child will learn to choose words wisely in any social setting (and you’ll guide them without constant nagging), so they effortlessly navigate conversations, make lasting friendships, and leave positive impressions wherever they go.
When you follow these three steps of the ADHD-Friendly Discipline System, you’ll get your child to do what they’re supposed to do without repeating yourself, yelling, and punishments.
Eventually, they’ll need less and less supervision and correction.
They’ll do the tasks they need to do without you even asking.
You’ll watch your child grow into a confident, independent, and capable adult who can thrive despite ADHD challenges.

At This Point, You May Be Thinking: “Does this really work?”
I know you might be skeptical, especially if you’ve never read one of my books or joined any of my challenges.
The short answer is YES – the ADHD-Friendly Discipline Techniques I’ll share with you have worked in action for years now, and are used by tens of thousands of parents of kids with ADHD.
But don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what some of the parents who applied my parenting techniques in their homes say:
“Dr. Juhant is extremely knowledgeable! He made me realize how much I was doing wrong when communicating with my son. I now see someone with ADHD in a completely different light, and now when dealing with my son I feel like I am on his side helping him learn control, instead of me always trying to be the one in control. I have already passed on this author to some other moms struggling with kids with ADHD.”
Megan F.
“The 28 Day Challenge was easy to learn and put into practice. Parents are busy working adults as well, so efficiency and effectiveness is key. I could read each challenge on the commute to work, at home before going to bed, and even read them over and over again to be better informed and equipped. What’s most satisfying is having a more positive relationship with my child.”
Gerald E.
“I’m so impressed by this challenge! It’s very informative and gives a step by step approach to different scenarios and a real insight into how the ADHD brain works. Such a useful tool. Thanks so much!”
Ben C. P.
“I was ill-informed about ADHD through social media and casual discussions with friends and family. When my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD it felt daunting. This book helped me make sense of things in a different and totally constructive way! I’m grateful every day.”
Rachel M.
“Marko offers real-life strategies and approaches to parenting. Parenting was like an out of control guessing game to me, but Marko gives tips and guidance for every dilemma. I’ve read books and purchased other courses, but the Anger Management Challenge was most helpful by far.”
Julia H.
“These daily emails have transformed my relationship with my girls! I still forget some of the tools but I’m just grateful that I can always go back to my emails when the need arises. It’s only been a month and I have already noticed an improvement… I’m sure it will get better and better in the coming months!”
Rose G.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before I answer this question, let me ask you this first: how much time would you SAVE if you wouldn’t have to get into battles with your child?
If it’s a significant amount of time (and stress!), then I think you and I both know what you need to do.
The daily challenge emails that I’ll be sending you will only take 5 minutes to read. You can skim through them while having your coffee, taking a break from work or watching your favorite TV show.
Now, if you’re about to go on a 10-day vacation in the middle of the challenge with no access to your email… that’s not really a problem either. The emails will wait for you until you return, just make sure you get them now before we increase the price.
Plus, you have a whole 14 days to try the challenge 100% risk-free.
The techniques you’ll receive work on anyone from toddlers up until around 18 years of age.
In the challenge I also provide several examples for different age groups, to make it very relevant regardless of your child’s age.
If you still think they might be too young or too old, my recommendation is to simply give it a try. There’s nothing to lose. You can ask for a full refund until 14 days after the purchase.
I’ve been developing and using these tools for over 40 years now. Much of my work has been focused specifically on kids with various disorders because I know that being a parent in this case can be particularly challenging.
The “ADHD-Friendly Discipline Techniques” have been tried and tested on thousands of kids with Autism, Anxiety and other disorders. I made sure that they’re bulletproof and working flawlessly in such situations.
My recommendation is to give it a try. You have nothing to lose and I’m convinced you’ll be blown away by how effective they are for your situation.
I get this question all the time. And my answer is always the same.
I’ve been studying this subject for over 40 years now. I wrote 16 books about it and have personally tested the tools on thousands and thousands of kids.
Trust me when I say this – by now I’ve made all my materials so bulletproof that I have yet to see them fail.
You’ll be surprised by how well and how quickly this challenge will work for you. But don’t take my word for it – see for yourself. Try the challenge, and if it doesn’t absolutely exceed your expectations, e-mail my team, and they’ll return your full investment – no questions asked.
All you need is access to your emails. There are no other tools or investments needed.
Program consists of short lessons in textual form. You will receive one lesson each day, containing one tool. As if receiving one chapter of a book.
Since you will receive lessons via email, you can of course read them anytime and anywhere you wish. I advise you to read them in the morning and try to use them on the same day when they are still fresh in your memory.
Once you receive the lessons, they are yours to keep. You will be able to return to them anytime, read them again and as many times as you want. You can also print them out and save them in physical form or make visual reminders out of them to help you stay consistent.
You do not need any additional application such as Zoom for the program, as you will receive daily lessons in the form of emails.
Of course, you keep these emails forever. You can read them anywhere and anytime, whenever it suits you best.
The contents of the 21-day program are intended for parenting of children of all ages. These are proven parenting techniques that work regardless of the age of the children. Some also work with adults!
I totally agree with you. Your children are different from all others. And this is really not a bad thing! It just means that they are predictable in some way and that the methods will work for them as they work for most other children.
The parenting techniques I will share with you are based on the psychological patterns and responses of many of the children I have worked with and observed in my 40 year career. Regardless of their personality and special characteristics, some things remain the same and work. They are in the nature of all of us.
Therefore, I am sure that you will also learn something new, that you will better understand your child and that you will gain new educational approaches and techniques that will make parenting easier and more successful.
Of course! You can order the program and them e-mail us at [email protected] to transform ownership to the person you want to gift it to.
If you are not satisfied with the program, please notify us at [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and get your money back.
Please just review and actually try to use the content in practice.
