Children with ADHD need structured routines and clear instructions on acceptable behaviour. Nurturing a positive relationship can also help to manage disruptive behaviour significantly. Psychologists call this approach "scaffolding". It involves role-modelling and positive reinforcement from parents to teach children with ADHD appropriate behaviours. Discipline methods that involve yelling or punishments are unlikely to work as effectively on children with ADHD. They will simply learn that being yelled at or being punished is the norm, without working on changing their overactive or impulsive behaviours.
