Chapter 6 describes emotion dysregulation features which are associated with children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In ADHD adaptive emotion regulation processes are impaired; this negatively impacts the individual’s ability to flexibly select, attend, and appraise emotionally evocative stimuli. This is identified as emotion dysregulation, which occurs when individuals fail to alter emotional states that affect behaviours necessary for achieving one’s goals. This review also examines the relationship between executive functions and emotion dysregulation in ADHD. Successful modulation of emotion occurs as a result of intact executive functions; however, ADHD is characterized by poor executive functions as a result of deficits in the prefrontal cortical networks. Along with describing neural mechanisms associated with ADHD, this review also focuses on the development of emotion dysregulation, clinical implications and current interventions.

In Module 9, parents are introduced to their important role in helping their children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn to regulate strong emotions. Parents are the child’s first teachers for how to regulate emotions and serve the role of “external regulator” for their children. Children with ADHD are more sensitive to their environments and look to their parents for signs of how to react to a situation or stressor. The goal is for parents to stay calm and collected, modeling effective emotion regulation for their child during periods of stress. When parents learn to be “emotion coaches,” they are more likely to consider the child’s emotions without judgment and decrease critical or invalidating responses. By serving as the child’s “emotion coach” (noticing, tolerating and labeling the child’s emotion), the child learns “emotion language” so that acting out in response to emotions is not necessary to express how they are feeling.

Objective: This study aimed to predict cognitive emotion regulation and academic achievement based on symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Methods: The present study has a correlational design. The study population consisted of students at the University of Bojnord, Bojnord City, Iran, in the academic year 2017-18. Of these students, 190 were selected by a convenience sampling method. Adult self-report short-form Conners’ scale and cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire were used for data collection. Academic performance was determined by the grade point average. Multivariate regression analysis was used for analysis. Results: The results showed that hyperactivity and physical problems could predict self-blame, and hyperactivity can predict other blame and rumination. The variables of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and physical problems were also able to predict the catastrophizing strategy. Among the variables studied, only inattention predicted grade point average change. Conclusion: Thus, the findings of the study suggest that some components of cognitive emotion regulation and academic performance can be predicted based on symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
