Has your child been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Here's what you can do at home to help.
Take action:
Arrange with your child's teachers that he sits in the front row in class; teach him to make lists of things to do, pack or take with him; make sure there's a specific routine at home – eat at regular times and teach your child his homework must be done at specific times; give him an alarm clock and put up a year planner and calendar against his wall, so he can learn to plan his day and see sport days and music lessons at a glance; check if and how he did his homework and make sure all tasks are done – allow him to do it himself, even if it takes a long time.
