Look at him/her as a child first and then has a child with ADHD. Please understand that inorder to prove your love you do not have to submit to all your child's whims and fancies. Be firm but not strict. You need not take the stick, just a loud voice and wide rolling eyes can do the trick. And be consistent in everything you do. The basic principles are 1. Have a routine at home - let the bedtime, feeding time, study time be the same everyday, occasional changes in time are ok 2. Be consistent, clear and concise in your instructions. If you say TV time is only an hour a day stick to it, don't change it to 3 hours for one day just because you have to finish some work. 3. Make sure your child gets lots of physical activity - encourage him in cycling, swimming, sports. You can also go for yoga/OT - make sure you find the right therapist 4. Reduce intake of junk food, preservatives. Try to give homemade food as much as possible. Learn to cook a variety of snacks that your child will relish at home. 5. Try simple relaxation methods for good sleep like soft music, lavender drops on the pillow, avoid TV atleast an hour before sleep, read simple stories before bedtime together 6. Study your child's mood and work on it. Do academics when he is at his best alertness and mood. Have short periods of study with 2-3 min breaks inbetween. Reinforcers will work well with most kids. 7. Prepare him ahead of time of the behaviour you expect when you go out to the shop, a wedding, temple, theatre. This way he knows what needs to be done.Give him lots of opportunities to explore, be with other children. 8. Tell him what to do, rather than what not to do. Instead of don't run, say ' Sit down'. 9. Do not expect success immediately. For some a week may show positive results, for some it may take atleast 6 months. Do not get discouraged and depressed, just try to think of where you might need to make simple changes to achieve. success. 10. Read up on ADHD. Be equipped. Talk with other parents. Don't be shy to question therapists of your needs. As a parent you are the best person to know what your child needs and you can do it for him/her. Have faith in your child.

I am Indian living in USofA and have ADHD. I never was suspected or diagnosed for ADHD since i became adult. The disorder itself is very complex and have a great chance of being misinterpreted for careless, lack of self-control attitudes and Imagine having no awareness of this in people of countries like India. Thanks for the book although i cannot access link provided. Thank you very much for the post. I am Indian living in USofA and have ADHD.
