The same way you interract with a child without ADHD. The only difference is, if your doing a task with the child that needs a lot of focus (such as homework) you may need to redirect them a few times and make sure you two stay on topic. Also make sure to be as patient as you can be. Besides that, children with ADHD are often very fun to be around :)

I have add and am doing ok socially. Also, it's best not to be sarcastic or repetitive. This sort of thing has always confused me for some reason.
All in all, every kid is different.

Use a combination of approaches, combining visual with verbal if you must lecture. Also, work with the student to develop an acceptable passtime for them, such as drawing or coloring. Keeping busy on an easy task that doesn't interfere with other students can keep them from daydreaming, and improve their attention.
