How to best educate children with ADHD

Children with ADHD give their parents a lot of headaches because these children cannot concentrate on doing anything in life. So when faced with this situation, parents should educate them correctly and develop a complete schedule, but they must never scold or beat their children.

1. Acknowledge and respond to any positive behavior, no matter how small; if you look for the good in your child without judgment, you will find some.

2. Avoid frequently using language that expresses negative attitudes, such as "no", "stop", and "no".

3. Separate your child's bad habits from the child himself. For example, you can say to your child: "I like you, but I don't like you not to listen."

4. Set up a very clear schedule for your child. Set a schedule for waking up, eating, playing, watching TV, and going to bed. You should stick to the schedule, but also be flexible when your child doesn't stick to it. After a while, your routine will become your child's own habit.

5. When you are teaching him something new, be patient, keep explanations brief and clear, and repeat your requests often.

6. Try to leave a space for your child in the room, avoid decorating with bright and strong colors, and keep the room simple and tidy. Placing the desk against an empty wall away from distractions will help your child concentrate.

7. Do one thing at a time. Store toys in boxes with lids. Give him only one toy at a time. If your child is drawing or reading, turn off the radio or TV. Multiple stimuli will make it difficult for him to concentrate.

8. Giving children certain responsibilities is crucial in the process of growing up. The task assigned to him should be within his capabilities. Once he completes a task, even if it is not completed ideally, he should be recognized and praised.
