ADHD is a common condition that has been found in a population of children and adolescents. However, it is not always easy for parents to spot the signs early enough to take action.

If your child has ADHD, here are some ways you can help improve their habits:

Introduce new activities 

Children with ADHD may have trouble finding things to keep them busy at home or school. This can lead them to have excessive TV or computer time or play video games all day long. You can help by introducing them to new activities like sports or music lessons or even taking them on an adventure day trip once per month by yourself.

Keep track of homework

Parents should make sure that they check their child's homework after each assignment is done, so they don't forget about it and get behind in their studies. Also, ensure they do their homework on time so they don't miss any school days due to misbehaviour.

Encourage social interaction 

Children with ADHD often feel left out of conversations because it takes too much effort to focus on what others are saying, even if they want to be a part of that interaction. Instead, parents should engage the kids in the conversation and make sure they participate by giving their feedback.

Make a schedule

A child with ADHD is usually a good student but also has problems with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These kids need more structure in their day, so they will need to learn to manage their time better.

The first thing you can do is put your child on a daily schedule. You don't have to be the strictest parent in the world, but having a schedule helps. Kids who don't know what time it is will have trouble getting up in the morning and getting ready for school or activities. They'll also have difficulty understanding when dinner time is or if homework has been completed by then.

A schedule will also help your child with homework as well as other activities outside of school that take up their time, like sports or after-school activities. This way, they know what they are doing each day and when they should do it, so they don't get behind on anything important during the day.

Help them find their strengths

If your child has a hard time focusing in class, find out what they're good at and make sure they use the skills to their advantage. For example, if your son loves sports but doesn't do well in math, find ways to work on those subjects so he can succeed in both subjects.

Set goals

Get your child involved in setting goals that are specific enough to motivate them but not so big that they feel overwhelmed. They should also be measurable so you can see how far they've come or where they're going next.

Keep communication open 

Your child should be able to talk about their day with you at any time, including when they are having trouble focusing at school or in class. If necessary, try setting up meetings between parents and teachers so that both sides can discuss problems together and come up with solutions rather than just allowing one parent to handle everything alone without any input from the other side.

Behaviour management at home 

Providing structure and limits for behaviour management at home can help reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity in your child's behaviour, as well as help them develop better self-control skills over time. 

Talk to your doctor

Ask your doctor if you think your child may have ADHD or if you suspect that they have symptoms of this disorder. Your child may benefit from the help of an ADHD specialist who can administer a comprehensive evaluation and evaluate medication options for treatment.

Try home remedies 

Some people with ADHD find relief through natural remedies, such as herbs and supplements. Before trying anything at home yourself, talk with your doctor about which ones might work best for your child's needs.

Limit screen time 

Children with ADHD tend to spend excessive time on screens (e.g., television and computers) and often struggle with impulse control when it comes to playing video games or looking at social media sites.

Make sure your child knows what they need to do before they leave the house. If you know they'll miss school or be late, try setting up an alarm on their phone or computer, so they'll know when it's time to go.

Give them Reminders

Give them a visual reminder of what's expected of them, like a sticky note on the fridge or an appointment card in the car glove compartment. If your child forgets something because they were distracted by something else, remind them again at home before leaving for school or work tomorrow morning (or even tonight!).

Conclusion

Because there are so many different factors associated with ADHD, and most of them are unique to each child, you may want to consider a wide variety of approaches to helping your child. Also, since ADHD is generally a very manageable condition, it needs only the motivation for change on the part of the person that has the condition for them to make positive changes.
