Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Adhd can be treated with few behavior modifications:
1. Do not scold or be admanat , accept your childs behaviour set reasonable goals.
2. Pressure free, give them informed choices, remove them from the scene where they become troublesome to control.
Be patient,persistent take one issue at a time.
Goof music and recreation in calm environment could help.
However if these don't work, you need the medications under supervision.
