[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of ADHD inattentive 6 years old here. Just starting medication. Can someone give examples of the checklists? I'm struggling with how much or how little I should be making him keep track of. [/quote] You'll want to exercise his executive functioning muscles as much as possible, so you should start making him track of the most important things, then add new checklists as he improves/gets older. It may take him a while to really get it, that's okay, this is a long-term project. Offer good rewards and lots of praise for successfully completing a checklist each time he does it. Examples of checklists: - everything that goes into a backpack before going to school/camp. - complete morning routine from waking to walking out the door. - how to complete a multistep chore, like laundry. - homework checklist, from taking assignment sheets out to checking his work to putting everything back and straightening up desk.[/quote]
