During the Summer, it is easy for both you and your child with ADHD to become much more laid back than usual. It is great to feel relaxed and loosen up your schedule. However, that being said, keep in mind that children with ADHD need a predictable schedule each day. Within that schedule, it is also advisable that you try to make sure that your child, no matter whether he is five years old or 17 years old, gets something specific done each day.
In that way, even though life is more relaxed during the summer, he will feel as if he got one thing done each day. These accomplishments do not have to be huge in scope, but rather, small in scope, so that he can achieve some real success, a feeling that children with ADHD do not frequently feel.
