[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 children who have learning disabilities. The oldest is in middle school and the youngest is in middle elementary school. What I would tell you now is learn how to support the children you have - and not what a book or parenting guide says. My oldest has ADHD and he could care less about "logical consequences" - what we have realized is that the more limits we put on things, the more he is stressed about his options. Example, you can use the computer to play games until 6 PM. But then you need to do homework. He is so focused on the limit. We have changed the rules and said - OK computer is off at 9:30 and we expect homework to be done. With this option, he makes sure things get done. It is against all the guidance we have been told - but it works for our child. Give them hugs and kisses tonight - this stage will be gone before you know it. [/quote]
