2. Avoid becoming distracted: Do not turn on the TV, MP3 or computer while completing another task
3. Limit your choices: Offer children a choice between no more than two items (food, clothing, toy...)
4. Communicate tasks as simple as possible: Use clear, brief and concise directions
5. Have a reward system: Use charts and list realistic attainable goals and track positive behavior
6. Discipline effectively: Do not use spanking or yelling, instead have limited timeouts and remove privileges as a consequence
7. Have a routine: Follow the most similar structure daily
8. Use positive language: Tell your child what you want them to do, not what you want them to not do
9. Do not blame: Blaming children will negatively impact their self esteem
10. Be hands on: Have fun, play outside and save some time during the day for just your child (no distractions)
