The current situation related to the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the necessary actions to reduce and prevent its spread generated important and abrupt changes in daily life. These changes have affected everyone, and children diagnosed with ADHD are a population that may be more affected by their characteristics related to the three main symptoms of the diagnosis, such as: difficulty in sustaining attention, difficulty in controlling impulses and hyperactivity. Children and adolescents with ADHD may feel insecure, fearful and disorganized, with mood swings and difficulties regulating their emotions, which may affect daily family dynamics. Against this background, a strategy guide is presented, which aims to collaborate with families with a child or adolescent with a diagnosis of ADHD so that they can go through this period in a better way.
