Dr. Hanid Audish | Using Timers and Alarms

Timers and alarms serve as practical tools to assist children with ADHD in managing their time more effectively. Setting timers for specific tasks helps create a structured timeframe, which can enhance focus and motivation. For instance, a timer can be set for 15 minutes during homework time, signaling when it’s time to take a break or switch to a different activity.

 

Alarms can also be used to remind children of important deadlines and transitions throughout the day. Integrating alarms into a daily routine—such as for waking up, meal times, or preparing for bed—helps create consistent reminders that facilitate better time management. Physicians such as Dr. Hanid Audish emphasize the importance of working with children to set alarms at appropriate intervals and explain their purpose, so they understand the importance of adhering to these time cues.
