Usually, the ADD child thrives in a busy environment. Never discipline ADD behavior, but offer them ways of coping with their impulsive urges. This is when the child willfully disobeys rules and limits. Never punish by withholding sports or other school-related activities. A better punishment option is the restriction of TV viewing or computer time.
Extra chores is another good discipline tool.
