[quote=Anonymous]Relax. Mine is a mild ADHD (medicated) son who certainly has executive functioning issues and won't do work. Ever. If your son does some that's good. Mine gets D's and F's during the semester, crams for the Finals, gets B's and winds up with C's and D's. Infuriating. But there's nothing you can do. I mean outside of what you have already done. Tutors might help. Talking with teachers and counselors might. Remind him to do HW, support him emotionally, but that's it. I wish there was a magic bullet. There ain't. Parents who don't have this issue won't understand that your kid will never, ever do the work and there is nothing you can do to make him do the work. I sound callous, but the sooner you establish a modified approach (not giving up, just altering your expectations), the better your relationship will be, and that is really all that counts. Trust me on that one.[/quote]
