[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Six and five year old have hyperactive type and inattentive type respectively. The five year old especially cannot do anything I ask without me body doubling or yelling. I hate yelling and don't want to be this mom but honestly I don't know to do anymore. I can ask him 200 times to get his pajamas on and unless I raise my voice or stand next to him and walk him through it he just won't do it.

Is this something that gets better with time? With medication? We've tried a reminder/task chart with limited success. If people say I need to body double him and that's appropriate then I'll do that, I just worry I'm giving up on him building these skills if I do that for him with everything.

Thank you. [/quote]

I have NT kids and they wouldn’t be able to get the PJs on by themselves at those ages. They needed it to be part of an extended bedtime routine where calm begins 30 min beforehand, and parents are actively involved. It wasn’t until my kids were 10 that I could just tell them to go and get their PJs on. [/quote]
