What can I do to help a child with ADD/ADHD?

Helping the Child with ADD/ADHD

Sometimes children with ADD/ADHD cannot help being impulsive and/or hyperactive because they are too stimulated by the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of our environment. To help, provide a quiet, "time-away" space so the child can "escape" when needed. Teach the child to go to the quiet place when becoming over-stimulated and before misbehavior esculates. Visit ADHD for a list of articles on ADHD. You can also find a "How To" e-book on working with ADHD by clicking here.
