ADHD coping skills are techniques that help kids deal with challenges linked to attention issues. It's important to recognize and work on these skills early to improve their school experience, foster friendships, and enhance overall well-being. The ADHD Coping Strategies handout highlights how children with ADHD may struggle with tasks like planning, time management, and controlling their emotions. It also provides practical tips, presented as easy-to-follow bullets, that aim to help kids improve their organization, attention, and self-control skills.
