[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She is 6 currently. She refuses to follow basic instructions like us telling her to brush her teeth, get dressed, and eat the breakfast we prepared, unless every step of the process is micromanaged. As in, the second you turn around, she stops getting dressed and does something else. I'm wondering how much longer she needs this level of micromanaging. Trying to get her to do something basic often turns into a huge argument.[/quote] You need to educate yourself about ADHD. That's the best thing you can do for her. She's going to need executive functioning support for a long time, and you need to learn how to provide it so that you're developing her skills, not just hassling her. Yes it's annoying and difficult. That's why it's called a disability. [/quote]
