2. Disciplinary action should be immediate, positive and of short duration.
3. As Your child becomes more responsible, allow him more privileges.
4. Get your child to do chores. Chores are a great way to develop a child’s sense of self-esteem and responsibility.
5. Give simple, brief instructions. Maintain eye-contact and touch your child if possible as well.
6. Create a “To Do” list so that your child can check off what he has accomplished.  For a younger child use pictures instead of words.
7. Calm out-of-control and impulsive behavior by letting the child listen to soothing music.
8. Establish a regular daily routine and follow it as consistently as possible.
9. Explain your child’s ADD/ADHD to any adults he regularly interacts with, such as his teachers, grandparents or babysitters.
10. Arm yourself with knowledge. Learn what works and what doesn’t.
11. Don’t allow yourself to be pressured into putting your child on medication
