Solution:

Don't tell your child how to start the next activity before you finish the current activity.

Some children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have short-term working memory defects, so it will be unbearable for them to try to make them remember everything.

In addition, you can do the following:

1. Recognize that planned skills are not automatically acquired by ADHD, and they need clear and repetitive instructions.

2. One-on-one communication or assigning small partners to check the progress is very important, which makes the progress of learning tasks predictable.

3. Post the timetable in a conspicuous position.

4. Write down every step of completing the task and handle the details.

5. Prioritize tasks and prioritize them before completion.

ADHD has nothing to do with IQ. He can solve some difficult problems and has a good memory, but he can't stop forgetting common sense such as homework.

This is closely related to executive dysfunction. ADHD has obstacles in organization, planning and time management.

ADHD is considered as a mental disorder that affects the overall self-management skills, among which the executive function is very important.

These functions can help us manage things in life effectively-our goals, projects, time, emotions or social occasions.

If the executive function is not good, it will be manifested as forgetfulness, inattention or impulsiveness, and weak self-control ability.

So we should advise them to "pause" rather than stop, reminding them that they can return to the current task later and then start what they need to do now. Help their thinking and attention to reach a stable stop.
