does your daughter take medication? Because if she does, you can just help her study, but if it makes her angry, leave the subject alone for awhile. If not, then just do practically what she asks of you, as long as it makes sense to you.

You could recommend a psychologist, or maybe some medicine like Ritalin.

Or you can give these tips to the parents:

1. Accept that there is a problem, whether or not you accept the diagnosis. Denial will not help you or your child.

2. Do not expend energy grieving that your child is "labeled." No, it's not fair but grieving will not make things better. Take some time to pull yourself together -- then get on with parenting your child.

3. Be prepared to feel guilty about the time you spend parenting your ADHD child compared to the time you spend with other family members. Be prepared for backlash you may get caught-up in as a result of other family members feeling neglected.

4. You will have to look deep within yourself to find patience. Patience dealing with your child, patience waiting for appointments, patience waiting for test results, patience when working with the school district, patience, patience, patience.

5. In general, all children need structure. ADHD children require more structure, routine and consistency.

6. Behavior management plans do not work overnight -- many times it takes two to three months to see results -- sometimes longer. Many times the "plan" ends up being a little from this one and a little from that one. Make clear, age and developmentally appropriate rules and consequences for infraction of those rules. Your child must know your expectations.

(basically) 7.Trust you instincts. No one knows your child better than you.

Does a father have to pay child support if a child receives disability for ADHD?

Of course. A child received disability for ADHD because living with the disorder requires extra help that can add to the costs of raising and caring for the child. The mother still needs the father's financial help in supporting the child's day to day needs. The government should not be expected to do his job regarding the child he helped to bring into the world.Of course.
