I have two boys (10 and 2) who aren't ADHD. My DD (6) is ADHD. We have been working on behavior mods for her. It is so hard to not show differences between her and the two boys. I'm just curious as to how you handle it? What types of things do you do to not show differences?

Do you mean like treating then differently? If you do, then I would say I don't. My DD is 2 1/2 and in that, um, "terrible" stage, so it works out.
Like if I use a chart system, I make one for her too. Why not? If she makes it to the potty she gets a star. If I assign time outs, she gets them too, only shorter. I actually adjust the way a raise her to match Honey or it would get totally out of hand. I am probably stricter with her than I need to be, but that won't hurt her.

Same here like honeysmom, I have the same rule´s for all 3, dd´s might get it strickter than the girl-nextdoor, but atleast they behave as I wich(yeah yeah, not always, but I keep hoping ;D). I think that equality is very important, and daily behaviour-demand´s should be same for all. My problem is educational; ds8 has just learned to read well, I´am afraid dd5 is going to learn very soon, I dont want that to happend. I dont think it´s fair that little sister has it so much easier, so I´am not supporting her to learn, I might be wrong, but she´ll do it eventually anyways. She get´s compliment´s from every succes that are age-related, as does my other-one´s. I think that my ds need´s to be the reader of the family for a while, as far dd5 gladly listen´s him to read for tham. sorry, I kind a lost the track. But your original consern: same rule´s for everyone, same chore´s, same punishment´s(age-related)..... Marja
