Who Is This Sheet For?
This printable is designed for parents, caregivers, teachers, and other adults who support children with ADHD, especially children around ages 6–12. It may also be helpful for families of younger children or teens who experience similar challenges.
How to Use This Sheet
The examples on this page show everyday situations that some children with ADHD may experience. A child does not need to experience every item on the sheet.
Read through the examples and notice which ones sound familiar. The “Try This” suggestions offer simple ideas that may make daily routines, schoolwork, transitions, and emotional moments a little easier.
This sheet is meant to help adults understand and support a child—not to diagnose ADHD. If behaviors are frequent, severe, or interfering with school, home life, or friendships, talk with the child’s doctor, therapist, or school team.
