Follow Through. After you've given a warning, give your child a few seconds to comprehend. If your child makes no attempt to do what you've asked, then follow through with a consequence.

With ADHD, traditional methods of discipline aren't always the best fit. Shift your mindset from ?I have to discipline my child? and get curious about how to help them improve their skills. Taking an attitude of, ?What can I do to help them? instead of ?How can I get them to do what I want? is a game-changer.
