The Disorder Attention Deficit (ADHD) is a very common disease among children/as school age. It usually affects mainly boys before girls.This requires giving the maximum attention and help to correct this problem and try to ensure that these children have a life as orderly as possible. Here are some tips on how to help children with attention deficit.

Steps to follow:

1. These children require a lot of discipline. By age, they are at the time when they require the utmost attention to follow a disciplined pace of life. If the child is inattentive, the routine will make him or her focus on how to follow a steady, calm pace.
2. It is necessary for the child to follow some rules. Create them at home, this way you will know that you will be punished if you do not comply with them and that if you comply with them it is normal, the basis of an orderly and healthy life. You must differentiate what is good from what is bad from your own home so that you can later apply it in other circles.
3. Help the child to find group activities that really fill and like him, be it a sport, music, crafts, whatever he decides. Encourage him to participate, have fun and share. This will help you a lot to interact with others and to share in a healthy and orderly way.
4. Make sure the child is always under the gaze of an adult. You must inform his teachers, tutors and anyone who spends time with him. In this way they will create the right environment and know how to treat it.
5. It is highly recommended that as a parent you consult a professional. It will give you keys, it will help you to control your child as well as helping him in everything he needs. In this way, it will be much easier to treat and help him.
6. You have to ensure that when the child goes to perform a task, he concentrates on it only. That nothing and no one, not even in the background, can divert your attention. This is a good exercise to achieve maximum concentration and for the child to perform at their best in each of their tasks.
7. Don’t compare him to anyone in an inferior way. Also avoid referring to him in a negative way in front of absolutely no one. Much less in front of children, of his friends. Don’t make him feel less than he is, on the contrary, you have to make him feel valuable.
