[quote=Anonymous]Structure, activity, lower your expectations and have realistic consequences. Time out? Not effective past age 4. Also be clear about your expectations up front. Tell them what you are doing and what you expect. I have an 8 year old with severe adhd and would never consider staying home with him alone for a week with no plan. His energy needs are far different than mine. If we dont have an outing planned i find a camp or call a friend or come up with something. No more than 2 hours un structured at home. If you're having an at home day, structure it- legos, art, outside, more outside, ride bikes, kick a ball, cook something, you have plan it and make it active.[/quote]
