Tips for helping a child with ADHD from professional ADHD coach Dale Davison:
* Put in place as much structure as possible.
* Demonstrate how to organize specific items, such as bookshelves and backpacks.
* Break tasks down into small steps.
* Teach time management by “externalizing” time. Demonstrate time passing with a cooking timer or song.
* Teach “self talk” or questions for the child to ask him or herself to slow impulsive actions and emotions.
* Make a plan for the task at hand, discussing specifically what needs to be done, how long each step will take and when the plan will be executed.
