[quote=Anonymous]Going to be contrarian here (though I did like the post at 12:14 above). Rewards for responsible behavior, punishments for irresponsible behavior. You've coddled your DD enough. Don't let her (or you) use her ADHD or other disabilities as an excuse for irresponsible behavior. For the record, I have a daughter with ADHD issues and social anxiety. We've burned through therapists (who coddled her) and she's on medication to help her focus. She's also irresponsible at times, but I don't let her get away with it. She has to learn there are consequences for her actions (or inactions). Over the past several years, I've realized one critical fact of life - helping your kids grow into mature, responsible adults is your #1 job as a parent. You can't outsource it to therapists or executive functioning coach while you chase your career. No therapist, coach, or medication will take the place of a parent who is caring and nurturing, but also firm.[/quote]
