9.Get Organized
If your child forgets assignments at school or has a backpack overflowing with crumpled papers, help them get organized. Make it visual. For example, get brightly colored folders for each subject. Have a backup plan for when assignments don’t make it home. Keep a list of other kids in the class to call. Or know how to contact the teacher directly.
10.Praise Effort
ADHD or not, children thrive on praise. It encourages and motivates them. So notice their successes, even the little ones. Praise your kid for effort and improvement. It feels good to you both. Small wins may lead to bigger ones.
