[quote=Anonymous]Also, some more tips on helping him focus: Taking away distractions is great, (for years my daughter did her homework on the kitchen floor, which was great until I had to cook) but he will probably do better in a room with you where you can reorient him to his work when he gets distracted. Also, all kids with ADHD do better with frequent breaks. Try setting a timer for 20 minutes, then set it to give him a 5 or 10 m inute break, then make him go back to work. BUt DON"T let him use the break to play with something like a computer that he will have a hard time disengaging from I have found that its more important to make sure that my daughter eats lots of protein than to avoid other foods. She focuses much better with a high protein breakfast, lunch and snacks. [/quote]
