Set up a strict routine, such as doing homework immediately after school every day. ADHD is a problem where children have trouble focusing or keeping their attention for a long period of time. The more routine children have to follow, the better they are able to do.
Talk to the teacher. Teachers need to know when they have children with ADHD in their class so they can work with the child and use strategies to teach the child that might not be necessary with other children.
Work out learning strategies with the child's teacher. Children with ADHD are hands-on learners. The more active the child is during the learning process, the better they will remember and retain the information.
Remove distractions during study time. Children with ADHD are easily distracted by things like toys, television or others in the room.
Give rewards. Children that are rewarded for trying their best will continue to work hard while children that are not rewarded will be less likely to keep trying. Children won't always bring home good grades, especially at the beginning while the student, teacher and parent are trying to figure out what works best for the specific child. Give rewards for good effort and hard work, not just for good grades.
