Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a condition that causes kids to have trouble with school, at home and in many social situations. Their inability to pay attention, and difficulties with impulse control contribute to these troubles. A child can learn to cope with ADHD when you provide him with a structured environment and positive reinforcement. Behavioral therapy is also useful to help him learn to deal with the results of ADHD behaviors.
Providing Structure
Children with ADHD thrive in a structured environment. When you create clearly established rules, consequences and boundaries for your ADHD child, it makes her feel more secure, since she doesn't have to wonder what will happen if she does something. Repeat the rules often, explain the consequences clearly, and enforce the boundaries consistently in order to provide the structure your ADHD child needs to cope with this condition.
