[quote=Anonymous]My son has ADHD and is about to go into kindergarten. We are trying to be consistent. He does not respond to time-out and head-to-head disciplining.

What are some hard and fast rules you all use in your housees? Here are some of mine.... but I need more ideas

1) Must get dressed and eat breakfast in the morning before any kind of electronics. We don't like to have electronics in the morn, but sometimes they wake up at 6am....

2) Must be in bed at 8:30 at the latest. Then read and then lights out.

3) Can only play electronics (e.g., wii) on certain nights for a time period and on the weekend. We use a timer...

These are the main issues: getting ready, getting addicted to electronics and tv and needing limits, and bedtime.

What are your rules/rituals? Especially for homework time? We both work and so homework needs to be done in the evening unfortunately.We have been advised to be consistent and have clear-cut rules, but sometimes after a long day, we slip. I'd be so interested to know in others clear-cut rules.... Thanks.[/quote]
