[quote=Anonymous]Fellow parent with a kid with ADHD here

It is really hard for us because 99% of DC's school work in online. He is home for 2 hrs before DH or I get home and we need him to do his work so I can't cut off the internet entirely. Before he was medicated, we had a LOT of problems with him screwing around. Now, that he is medicated, life is 10000% better and most of the time, his work is done when we get home.

We got Circle by Disney. I have YouTube blocked (his biggest time suck.) I put the Xbox on a separate monitor (you can assign devices to people/categories) and it doesn't have internet access during the week - theoretically he could play a game offline, but he has little interest and knows that if he does, he will be missing the power cord for quite some time.

Once work is done, and as long as his grades are all A/Bs, he can watch YouTube/play Switch until he needs to help with dinner. We eat as a family and then we may play a family game, watch a tv show as a family, read, etc.

On weekends, we don't have a limit. Some weekends, it is very little -  because he has sports/party/errands/etc. Some weekends, he plays a lot.[/quote]
