1. Special support in school: the preschool director gave our son a LOT of attention, she really went above and beyond. Then IEP in public school, special education teacher pulling out my son to work one-on-one with him in a quiet room, paraeducator in the classroom to keep him on task and help with organization.

2. Strict routine for mealtime and bedtime. No additives or preservatives, clean whole foods, not a ton of sugar at once. No snacking at all hours. Weekends, weekdays and vacations on similar schedules.

3. Daily exercise, particularly for primarily hyperactive children (not as critical for primarily inattentive children but still useful to self-regulate and sleep at night).

4. Medication. Truly life-changing.

5. Since ADHD is also co-morbid with other disorders, such as dyspexia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia (and general uncoordination), keep on top of these things. Sometimes a social skills group might be necessary when ADHD is severe and children cannot socialize fully and make/keep friendships.
