Structural routine, stick to the discipline and rules without negotiation, time-out or privilege taken off if not following the rules, reward systems (verbal or non-verbal), limited screen time to one hour a day only (homework does not count), avoid video games. If these measures don't work, seek pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

ADHD, attention deficient hyperactive disorder, is a common, but difficult disorder to treat. The treatment in usually multimodal, that is, it involves support from your child's school, your child's physician, his or her teacher, and you. I frequently, but not always, involve the use of medication.

Remove distractions, sit near the teacher, organize the work, smaller classroom size. If this fails, then stimulants.
