Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactive disorder is the most common psychiatric disorder seen in children in which the child expresses inattentiveness, hyperactivity as the core behaviour characteristics. Managing the child diagnosed with ADHD is quiet challenging in whatever the situation he is presented to. Behavioural techniques for managing the child with ADHD are not intuitive for most parents and teachers. It is futile and damaging to try to force a child with ADHD to be like most children. It is possible, however, to limit destructive behaviour and to instil in the child a sense of self-worth that will help overcome negativity. This review article encompasses various techniques of managing child with ADHD under different practical scenarios and guides parents, teachers and also clinicians to accommodate and modify the behaviour of child.
