[quote=Anonymous]Yep. Sometimes it's gotta come from within, even for our ADHD kids. Before you scream at me for being anything but 113% positive in this safe place called the Special Needs Forum, may I say that I do, in fact, have a son with ADHD (12 y.o.). And a child who does not have a diagnosis. They both go through this intransigent defiant thing starting about now. It should last for at least 3-4 years. After toddlerhood, I am strongly against automatic Pavlovian reward systems for human children unless the children are profoundly mentally challenged (and at the level of a preschooler). You're not going off to college with your son, right? You shouldn't even contemplate holding their hand through high school, so as to prepare them for college-and-life. You have to start at some point letting them develop their (yes, I KNOW, compromised) internal motivation cues. Why not now? [/quote]
