Structured Behavioural Therapy is the first-line management for ADHD, particularly in children. This approach involves behaviour modification techniques to help the child develop better organizational skills, improve focus, and manage impulsive behaviours.

Other Options
Stimulant Medication:
While effective, stimulant medications like methylphenidate or lisdexamfetamine are usually considered after behavioural interventions, especially in children, unless symptoms are severe.

Regular Physical Activity:
Physical activity is beneficial for managing hyperactivity but is not a standalone treatment or as structured as behavioural therapy.

Parenting Skills Training:
This can be a helpful adjunct to structured therapy but is not the primary intervention for the child’s ADHD symptoms.

Classroom Modification and Support
Adjustments in the classroom, such as seating arrangements and frequent breaks, are essential but serve as supportive measures rather than primary treatment.
