How to cope with an ADHD child?

It is useful to know some behavior strategies to cope with ADHD children. Firstly , good behavior management techniques are necessary. Make rules for the child to follow. The rules must have consequences to encourage the positive behavior

Reward the child. ADHD children respond better to positive reinforcement like rewards and praise.

Enforce time out for disobedient behavior. The time is used for calming down and not as punishment.

If you must scold, do it gently to encourage him.

It takes tons of patience and loads of trials but the reward for a socially adjusted ADHD child is very satisfying
