Part 3
1. Offer your child something tactile to manipulate, such as silly putty. This slight stimulation often helps children with AD/HD focus.
2. Your child should work on the most difficult homework assignment first.
3. Remember that children with AD/HD benefit from physical movement and exercise. Don’t take away the privilege of playing sports as a consequence for negative behavior.
4. Allow your child to chew gum, as chewing gum may help release energy and keep concentration.
5. Use timers or verbal cues to help your child know how much time is remaining in the homework session. This also teaches your child to estimate the time needed to complete a task.
6. Consider hiring a tutor or homework coach to help reinforce what your child learns at school, assist with homework, and encourage your child toward success.
