If your child isn't attending a structured camp or classes, try to plan supervised activities throughout each day. Choosing activities your child enjoys works best. But remember, it's not enough to make plans and send your child off to the beach with relatives. Go over the day with your child - when they're leaving, how they'll get there, who will be there, what they'll be doing, where they're having dinner, etc. - the night before.

Offering at least some measure of predictability and keeping surprises to a minimum will help your child stay calm. Boredom is bad for people with ADHD because it may make them feel restless and irritable. To quell these feelings they may seek stimulation from activities that are unwise or worse, unsafe. A penchant for thrill seeking, combined with impulsivity and poor judgment, frequently lands idle kids in hot water.

What if my child has an accident?
