[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7th grade son has issues with HW. He also has ADHD and takes Vyvanse. It has worn off by 5pm so he just had his dose increased. It has been a bit better but now he has to do all HW in front of me (if it is online HW). I know he was wasting time before online and then would end up having to stay up late. He knows if he wants a phone and XBox, he needs all As and Bs. He used to go to public school and he got straight As even though he did next to no work. Now that he is in private school, he actually has to work hard and he isn't used to it at all. I wish I didn't have to micromanage him at this point but he obviously needs it. He also knows that he can't use any electronics on the weekend unless he has all As and Bs. He is hard headed and stubborn but a weekend w/o any electronics helps remind him that I am not kidding.[/quote]

I can assure you of this. If you continue to micromanage your son this way he will utterly fail when he leaves for college. it would be far better to insist on seeing the finished product but not make him sit with you. Stop insisting on As and Bs, stop hovering over him.

Or don't. But you will see what you get when he leaves, he will be incapable of self discipline.
