Warn the child in advance when transitioning to give plenty of time for the child to adapt. For example, instead of simply saying "Time to stop. Clean up.", you can say, "You have 5 minutes before we go to lunch." Then give a second warning, "You now have 2 minutes before we go to lunch. Start thinking about what you have left to do." Finally, "You now have 1 minute before lunch. Finish up what you are doing and stop." For more ideas on working with children with ADHD, visit ADHD.
