How do you help your child with ADHD in school?

Answer:
Most children in school need some help, but children with ADHD need special attention from their parents during the school years.

Some possible ways to help your child include:
  • Inform school administration about your child's ADHD and ask if they have any special programs available for children with ADHD.
  • Contact a school counselor to setup appointments for your child, if necessary, to help them organize and stay on track of assignments.
  • Seek proper medical treatment.
  • Make sure to communicate with your child on their progress, both educationally and socially; both are important aspects.
