There are many branches of psychology that suggest ways to change human behavior. The ADD/ADHD community generally follows the idea of rewarding desirable behavior and either ignoring and/or presenting consequences for undesirable behavior. Again, you know your child best. Some kids take well to praise while others seem react well by avoiding consequences at all costs. I will present you with a list of some ways to reward, ignore, and create consequences. Try them to see which work best for your child.

Rewards:

· Reward your child with verbal praise, hugs and kisses, or some quality time with someone or doing something instead of material objects.

· Change rewards as often as you can. ADD/ADHD kids will react well to the stimulation of a variety of rewards.

· Since many ADD kids are impulsive, make sure that rewards are immediate rather than delayed.

· Reward your child with something that is meaningful to him (i.e. extra time playing with Dad at night, extra video game time).

Consequences/Ignoring:

· Your child should know the potential consequences in advance so that he or she isn’t surprised when the consequence is delivered. This could prevent a potential meltdown.

· Know your child’s ‘triggers’. Don’t hand out a consequence that will devastate your child.

· Have your ADD/ADHD child verbalize what he or she did wrong and what he or she plans on doing in the future to avoid being in this position again.

The best way to incorporate these ideas is to create ADD/ADHD behavior contracts.

Buying antique china to add to your collection of antiques is a great idea. Collecting antiques can be an expensive hobby but it is definitely worth the investment. This is why even if you would have to shell out a lot of cash for it, if collecting them can give you that sense of joy, then there’s no reason why you wouldn’t think about adding them to your collection.

You will realize you have an excellent hobby of collecting antiques when they are appraised higher than the amount that you have originally bought them for. However, a fetish is a fetish. When you are attached to things, you usually wouldn’t want to get rid of them or sell them away even if you know they are already priced higher than the amount you have originally bought them. So, is that a bad thing or not?

When collecting antique china is part of your business, you are willing to learn everything there is to learn about antiques. Some information that you once thought to be dull and boring will suddenly become of interest to you. Below is a list of things that would be of paramount importance when you get yourself hooked into buying antiques:

1. Knowledge of history. When you are into buying or selling antiques, it is expected that you would have some idea about the history of the antiques in your possession. This is something that you would also like to do further research or inquiry about. With this, you are then willing to go out of your way in order to gain knowledge of the story behind such antiquities.

2. Age. We all know that for a thing to be considered antique, it should be at least a hundred years old. It takes skills and expertise to know the age of an antique. Somehow, it would be a little easier to do that if you have been collecting and reading more about antique china for quite some time.

3. You will know the techniques on how to handle antiques with care. One of the things that would interest you when you own antiques is on the best way to handle them safely. Antiques are good investments, which is why you also want to make sure they are well kept and secured; naturally because you didn’t purchase them cheap.
