There are some things you can try that could make a difference to your family life: 

• Go to your GP if there is a worry that your child has ADHD. A diagnosis may help you to move forwards.  
• Talk to the rest of your family to make sure they understand what is going on, so you are all on the same page.  
• Set some boundaries and don’t put up with bad behaviour e.g., swearing. 
• Ensure you help your child have a healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet, exercise and a sleep routine. 
• Lastly, find out about local parenting support groups to interact with other parents going through the same thing. You can help each other.
