7.Break up Big Tasks
When your child starts getting bigger assignments — dioramas, book reports, or term papers — that can be a big adjustment. Break it up into a series of smaller tasks, each one with a due date. Even teens with ADHD may need some help with scheduling big assignments and projects.

8.Use Timers
Kids with ADHD often lose track of time. Use kitchen timers or alarms on watches or phones to mark time. Have your child set a specific amount of time for a piece of homework. The alarm will also help get them back on track if they get distracted.
