INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start with simple things like no snacking between meals, knocking before entering, not interrupting others, asking for permission, and so on. Try posting the house rules on the refrigerator so everyone in your family can see them. If your child is too young to read, you can go over the rules verbally or even draw pictures. Good house rules to consider for young children and preteens: no running in the house, putting toys away after playing, no interrupting, and knocking before entering rooms. House rules for ADHD teenagers might include: no electronic devices until homework is completed, asking permission before leaving the house, and keeping their room clean. Children with ADHD have short attention spans, so your child may not make the connection between the punishment and the rule if you don't enforce the punishment immediately. Avoid scolding or spanking your child when they break a rule. Instead, remind them of the rule and provide gentle disciplinary actions like time-outs or removal of privileges. Dole out the same consequences every time a certain violation occurs. For example, if you have a "no running in the house" rule and your 8-year-old comes barreling through the door, say their name in a slightly raised voice to get their attention. Remind them that running isn't allowed and put them in a time-out for 5 minutes. Do this every time the rule is broken. If your 13-year-old breaks the "no internet before homework" rule, remind them gently that this isn't allowed and take away the device until their homework is completed. Be consistent with your child's bed time every night. Power down electronics, lower the lights, and reduce noise in the house about an hour before bed time to help ease them into sleep. Wake your child up at the same time every day, as well. For example, a night routine for your toddler might begin with a warm bath at 7pm, followed by tucking them in and reading to them until 8pm (or until they fall asleep). Set your alarm for 7am and wake your child at that time every day. Don't let your child take naps during the day to encourage a full night of sleep. Children with ADHD tend to have a hard time falling asleep. Waking up can also be a problem since they often don't get enough sleep during the night. This negative cycle can worsen their ADHD symptoms. Routine and structure are extremely important for children with ADHD. Schedule times for all of your child's daily tasks, such as chores, homework, hobbies, and any other common activities. Try to be consistent and schedule tasks at the same time every day. Since ADHD children are easily distracted, consistent routines provide a framework for them to fall back on. If they get distracted, gently remind them what time it is and what they need to do. Electronics can be useful learning tools, but they also tend to overstimulate children with ADHD. Keep electronic distractions at home to a minimum. Limit electronic use to specific times of the day and keep them off at all other times. Keep noise levels down. Put your phone on silent so incoming notifications and text messages don't disrupt tasks. Children with ADHD can get distracted if they're given too many options. Keep your child on track by providing 2-3 options when allowing your child to make a decision. For example, during craft time you might ask your 6-year-old to choose between finger painting and modeling clay. If you have a teenager, you might ask them to choose an after-school activity and give them 2 options: sports or music lessons. Children with ADHD tend to feel like they are always doing the wrong thing. Providing specific praise and attention for appropriate behaviors gives them something positive to hold on to. This can help build their self-esteem and it's also crucial for reinforcing the good behavior. For example, you might say, "Thank you so much for taking out the trash on time today! That really helped me out." You could also say something like, "You're doing such a good job on your homework every dayour study schedule is really paying off! I'm so proud of you." Children with ADHD are constantly trying to make sense of their environment, so keeping it clean and organized can help them focus. Try to keep your child's room and play areas clean and clutter-free. For example, try establishing a storage system that separates frequently-used items into categories, like toys and school supplies. Physical activity is crucial for a child's development whether they have ADHD or not. Help your child find a physical activity that they enjoy so they're more likely to participate willingly. Encourage noncompetitive and low-pressure sports and activities, like swimming, track, or martial arts. You can also integrate simple exercises into your daily life at home. For example, go on family bike rides or walk to school every day with your child. Even backyard games of tag can be helpful!

SUMMARY: Establish specific house rules for your child. Enforce consistent consequences immediately after they break the rule. Set a consistent sleep routine for your child. Follow a set schedule for your child's daily tasks. Simplify the environment by limiting electronics and distractions. Provide a limited number of choices to avoid overwhelming your child. Reward successes to encourage your child and improve self-esteem. Maintain a clean and organized environment to help your child focus. Make sure your child gets at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can free-hand paint anything that you want to add on your shirt. Look at band logos, images, and lyrics and select something that you can realistically paint on your shirt. Make sure to consider your artistic abilities and time. For example, if you want something simple, then you might choose a favorite line or verse from a song and simply write this on your shirt. If you want to try something more advanced, then you could try painting a portrait of one of the band members on the shirt. Before you delve into painting, create an outline on the shirt using pencil. This will make it easier for you to check the positioning and fill in your design before you make it permanent. For example, if you are writing lyrics on the shirt, write them on the shirt with pencil where you want them to go. If you are painting a portrait of a band member, then draw a basic sketch of the person on the shirt first. After you have your outline, get out the color or colors of fabric paint that you want to use. Dip your brush into the first paint and paint along the edges of the outline. Then, fill in the image with the other colors you want to use. For example, you could outline your text with black or white, and then fill it in with the same or a different color. If you're creating a portrait, then you might outline it with a flesh tone and then fill in the image with other colors to add detail. It's best to leave your painted shirt to dry overnight or for at least 8 hours. Set it somewhere that it will not be disturbed by pets or small children, such as up on a high shelf or in a closed room. When your shirt is completely dry, it is ready to wear! Wash the shirt on the delicate cycle turned inside out and hang it up to dry.

SUMMARY:
Choose a logo or lyrics that you want to add onto the shirt. Outline the image in pencil on the shirt. Fill in the outline with fabric paint. Wait at least 8 hours for the fabric paint to dry before you wear the shirt.
