Alot of the previous answers are behavioral and most of them are quite good!. Music, time outs, martial arts, exercise, and avoiding sugar are all helpful!. However, the only way that someone with ADD can really control themselves is with appropriate medication!.
I know it has a bad name, but most often in the hands of a qualified clinician stimulants work wonders and have few side effects!. If you are looking for a totally natural alternative try ADD-care!. It has been shown to be just as effective as demonstrated by brain imagery!. Jef Gazley, LMFTWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think the best things are those in which stimulates them the best, something that they can really sink there teeth into!.!.sort of speak!. Music, headphones, a project!.!.that does not need to be finished-just started!.!.hahah!.!.a really good hug, and some love is a good start-followed by a dose of kisses!.!.and some good conversation about them or something they are interested in talking about!.!.!.turn the negative into a positive!.!.!.!.usually only takes less than 5 minutes!.!.it comes down to do you have the 5 minutes and the patience to give it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Find a really fun activity that interests them and will KEEP their interest!. Some activity that does not take much concentration (like say leggos or a puzzle) and gets them to use their body and wear themselves out (like going outside and playing tag or having them run around the block!)
Do something that does not make them sit still, they will just get more agitated!. Maybe cooking something, or science experiments or fingerpainting if you cant get them to play outside!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
