How do I help a child with ADD/ADHD attend?

Using a Timer

Set a timer for a minute or two more than the child with ADD/ADHD is capable of attending and challenge child to attend until timer goes off. Reward the child lavishly if they attend until the timer goes off. Do not reprimend if the goal is not met, simply say something like, "Oh, that's too bad. Let's try again tomorrow!"
