2. Enforce consequences
If your ADHD child does not do his job,
take away something that is important to
him like permission to watch a favorite TV
show.
For example, if your child forgot to
feed the cat, one of his chores, you can
start writing down missed days on the
calendar. If by the end of the week he has
missed two days or more, the consequence
could be no allowance. You would be
surprised if suddenly, remembering for him
will become easier.
3. Limit stimulants
The thing with ADHD children is that
they are hyperactive. It is their behavior
that troubles them. Hence, it is best to
keep your child away from things that
trigger their hyperactivity. Since we are
dealing with behavioral problems here, we
need to focus on things that will
stimulate your child's hyperactivity.
You may, for example, limit the
hours spent on watching TV or playing
video games. Keep in mind that these
things can absolutely trigger your child's
manic behavior. Moreover, these things
inhibit your child's ability to
concentrate considering his condition. He
will also have more difficulty getting
enough sleep and eventually get some
relaxation. So what happens next is that
they become irritable. They tend to show
more manic behavior and can be more rowdy
than the day before.
3. Assign a deadline
When imposing rules or task, you should
assign a deadline. ADHD children find it
hard to concentrate and they tend to do so
many things without accomplishing even
just one activity. So in order to let them
know that they are expected to finish
something before they can do other things,
you need to let them beat the
deadline.
Whether it is within the hour, by
bedtime, or even when you expect your kids
to finish their chores, you need to let
them know what you expect from them. Talk
to your ADHD child about how much time
they will need to complete their tasks.
Then check up on them halfway through to
see how it is going. That way, they will
learn time management as well as home
management skills.
Lastly, set the example. Keep your own
possessions organized as much as possible
and your bedroom neat and clean so your
ADHD child will have a good role model. If
you do not, they will call you on it
eventually.
The thing with ADHD children is that
they need reliability and expectedness.
Constant expected discipline will help
them learn to have a focus on something
and that they will know what will happen
next if ever they break the rules.
