To help kids a parent can become more structured around the home. Have a set routine your child can follow. For instance, when the child gets up in the morning have a list. The list could be as follows: John's List Go to the bathroom Brush my teeth Get dressed Eat my breakfast Take my book bag to the school bus Your child can check off each item he/she has to complete before going to school. This will make life much less stressful at home in the morning. A lot of kids need reminders on what to do such as being told five times to brush his/her teeth. You may want to reward your child at the end of each morning with a sticker star. Once your child gets home have another list as follows: Snack time Homework time Play outside for fifteen minutes or indoors if it is raining Eat dinner Small chore Play Story time Brush my teeth Bed If your child completes the tasks at hand, you may want to give him/her another star as an award. Your child also may

need a special diet. The diet is rich in proteins such as meats, peanut butter, nuts, cheese, eggs, and beans. The diet for your Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder should also include complex carbs. Fruits and vegetables have complex carbs. Excellent fruit sources include oranges, tangerines, apples, pears, and kiwi. Omega-3 fatty acids are in addition to the protein and complex carbs. Foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acid are tuna fish, salmon, white fish, olive oil, Brazil nuts, and walnuts. You can add nuts to a lot of dishes if your child does not like to eat them plain. Foods your child should stay away from are sugary cereals, candy, potatoes with their skin off, rice, items with white flour in, and honey. The diet is not anything difficult to get used to. Most people should be eating these foods for their health as it is. Your entire family can benefit from eating as this diet is listed.
