Current medications do not cure ADHD. Rather, they control the
symptoms for as long as they are taken.
Schedule. Keep the same routine every day, from wake-up time to
bedtime. Include time for homework, outdoor play, and indoor
activities. Keep the schedule on the refrigerator or on a bulletin board
in the kitchen. Write changes on the schedule as far in advance as
possible.
Organize everyday items. Have a place for everything, and keep
everything in its place. This includes clothing, backpacks, and toys.
Use homework and notebook organizers. Use organizers for school
material and supplies. Stress to your child the importance of writing
down assignments and bringing home the necessary books.
Be clear and consistent. People with ADHD need consistent rules they
can understand and follow.
Give praise or rewards when rules are followed. People with ADHD
often receive and expect criticism.
