more likely for your child to complete the task. Allowing him or her some TV or computer time
when the task is completed can be a reward. Your child needs to have an area where he or
she will not be distracted while completing tasks.


In order to keep a child with ADHD within their safe zone; you need to adhere to a very rigid
agenda. This is one way to help him or her stay focused and make sure essential things get
done. Of course this is equally as important to all children, but especially so for ADHD kids.
Make out a time schedule to follow for their daily events like eating, chores, bedtime and
such.
This will certainly not make the ADHD go away, but the child will be able to think clearer
throughout their daily activities. Writing the schedule down where your child can see it can
help to reinforce it.


ADHD children demand a lot of attention, which can be overwhelming to parents. It will help if
you educate yourself on the condition as much as possible. This way, any action you take will
be effective. Try to apply the tips we've shared in this article. Structure, consistency, and
positive reinforcement are things that a child with ADHD will respond well to.
