Need help aboute "holding" | ADHD Information

I'm sorry for my bad english, i'm from israel.
I don't know too much how to do holding, is at big boys we need to sit on him?

ThanksWelcome aboard Ruete!

First off containment [or "holding"] depends on the size of the child.

For a smaller child it's better if you can put your back up against a wall and hold the child with their arms crossed over their body with your legs over theirs to prevent kicking. They are sitting in your lap sort of. Kind of like a gentle strait jacket.

With a larger child the arms are pinned beside the head by the wrist and you kneel over the lower body [don't put your weight on them, it's too heavy] and your legs are kind of locked behind to keep them from kicking.

IF possible see if you can get some pictures because it's really hard to describe and I don't want you to hurt  the child.

Also, see if you can learn some "de-escalation" techniques so the child can get themselves under control before you have to restrain them.

Restraint should only be used when a child is a danger to themself or someone else. It's not a punishment. The way I was trained to use it was for the child to expend their anger then usually they cry themselves to sleep. I found singing and humming calms the child  quickly. Don't engage ANY heated conversation at that point. You can discuss it when the child has calmed down.

You don't want to use this technique too often because it's exhausting for both the child and the adult.

What is going on that you feel the need to restrain this child?
thanks for the reply.
