[quote=Anonymous] Not at all. It's more difficult to manage your schedule if you don't have a good time management, and plenty of kids need that pressure applied externally. So letting deadlines slide can be a double-edge sword for all children. I have one severely ADHD child who has very low processing speed, with double time at school, and he would have a ton of assignments to complete right before the end of the quarter. The quarter deadline is a hard deadline, so for a week every quarter, he would go to bed at 3am to finish everything, and get all stressed out. It was difficult for him to avoid accumulating delays. We tried to help him, but he was terribly slow to begin with. My daughter without ADHD would surely like to have flexible deadlines, but it probably wouldn't be good for her. She still needs external boundaries to help her manage her time.[/quote]
