School can be challenging for children with ADHD, but with the right strategies, you can help
your child thrive. Here are some practical tips for parents:

  1. Establish Routines: Consistent schedules help children stay organised and focused.
  2. Communicate with Teachers: Keep an open dialogue with your child’s teachers to
    share updates and strategies.
  3. Break Tasks into Steps: Smaller, manageable tasks can reduce overwhelm.
  4. Encourage Movement: Short breaks for physical activity can improve focus.

If school challenges persist, PrimaHealth’s team is here to provide tailored support.
