About 355,000 kids in Australia, according to the Australian Department of Health, have ADHD. Families of children with ADHD know the environment's influence on their development and capacity to manage the condition. Making key systemic and organisational changes at home can position you and your child for long-term success. 

The Journal of Family Psychology examined 50 years of psychological research and found that consistent routines improve all children's behaviour and quality of life. For children with ADHD and their families, daily activities like getting ready for school or bed can be tough. With a few basic tools and, most importantly, consistency, routines can be made more efficient. 

Create a successful environment by maintaining order and organisation. The bathroom should be designated for the child's preparation for school or bed and nothing else. Having her place will improve concentration and control over the routine. School clothes should be stored in the same location each day to be worn the next day, and a hamper should be close by so that filthy clothes can be conveniently dumped in while getting dressed. 

A visible or written checklist that is hung in plain sight can help her stay on task while she completes the exercise. To ensure responsibility, every expected step should be mentioned and followed up on. If a step is skipped, spend the time to finish it. This helps establish the routine and the requirement that your child fulfils it. Consider motivating younger children by tying a reward to the checklist. 

Many kids with ADHD also suffer from sleep disorders such as difficulties getting up in the morning, anxiousness before bed, trouble falling asleep, nocturnal wakings, sleep apnea, and daytime lethargy. As many as 50% of children and 75% of adults with ADHD report having trouble sleeping, according to CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). 

A child with ADHD should have a bedroom designed and used almost entirely for rest and sleep. With this objective in mind, the space should ideally be furnished simply and sparingly. The focal point should be a cosy bed with a mattress that fits your child's body and preferred sleeping position. Body pillows, soft bedding, and mattress toppers can all help you sleep better.
