ADHD – Back To School Tips

ADHD – Back to School Tips 

Going back to school can be a stressful experience for a child with ADHD. Here are some tips to make the transition a little less stressful:

Tip #1

Communication! Discuss with your child what he/she should expect, what the morning routine prior to school going to be and what your expectations are of your child.

Tip #2

Listen! Have a discussion with your child and listen to his/her concerns, worries, expectations, and goals. Listen to your child and find our what he/she is excited about for school. This is not a time to lecture or teach. This is a time to listen, empathize, and use your positive attention parenting skills.

Tip #3

Do your prep work. Prior to the start of the school year meet with the principal and discussed your child’s special issues. Advocate for the teacher that works well with ADHD children. Set up the communication system before the school year even starts.
