    Focus on discrete rewards and consequences for appropriate and inappropriate behavior:
    - Tangible rewards and treats;
    - Movie night for a good week at school;
    - Removal of privileges; and
    Time-out from reinforcing activities: the child is essentially removed from situations that foster inappropriate behavior.

    Set a daily routine and stick to it. Bedtime and preparation for school are much easier if there is a structure already in place.

    A diagnosis of ADHD is multifaceted and includes behavioral, medical, and educational data

    Have tangible reminders:
    - A big clock in the bedroom;
    - Charts for chores;
    - Assignment pad to record homework and a specific folder to put work in upon completion; and
    - Gain the child's attention before speaking to him or her. Have the child repeat back directions for things that are really important.
    Avoid the following:
    - Repeating patterns of inappropriate behavior followed by ineffective punishment;
    - Administering consequences without prior warning or without the child understanding why he or she is receiving them; and
    - Responding inconsistently to inappropriate behaviors.

Problems with attention result in poor listening skills in many adults with ADHD, leading to a lot of missed appointments and misunderstandings.
