ADHD Parenting: Your Child CAN Make Bs and Behave in School with These 7 Simple Tips

If your child is starting to sink in school, tow him in quickly with these 7 sure-fire lifesavers.

  1. Get your child tested for holes in his learning. I recommend Kumon for math and reading.
  2. Practice math facts daily.  For younger children start with large flashcards of addition and subtraction. For older children, practice multiplication tables. And give three long division problems a day. Use graph paper. (If he’s counting on his fingers, return to the tables.) 
  3. Practice writing each day. Provide wide-ruled paper and draw in 1/2 rule and 3/4 rules between lines. Get him to draw three rows of loops. Above the line (as in cursive lowercase bs) and below the lines (as in lowercase gs). 
  4. Establish an after-school routine. For example, 15 minutes to check for homework supplies (if missing, return to school to fetch them), 15 minutes to get settled, and 15 minutes for a snack and a chat.  Then homework time.
  5. Establish a set length of time for homework according to child’s age. I recommend 30 minutes for children up to first grade. 45 minutes for 2-3rd grade. One hour for 4-5th. and 1.5 hours for 6th grade plus.
  6. If your child doesn’t have enough homework to fill that time, think of practice work he can do. Correct tests, copy pages from books and dictionaries, or math, reading, and writing practice.
  7. Check your child’s backpack after school and before school for tidiness and completeness.You can get a free copy of our booklet “17 School Success Strategies” if you’re among the first 200 to sign up for our free teleseminar this Sunday at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (1:00 p.m. Pacific, 3:00 p.m. Central).
