[quote=Anonymous]You may be doing more than you think because you seem to have instincts to reinforce his best qualities, love him and help him. One of the best “free” things to do with a kid like this is show them a ton of love and call out their good qualities as much as possible. He really needs to hear what his good qualities are, because life is constantly telling him the opposite. As someone with ADHD, the preteen and teen years are sooooo hard because school and relationships get so much harder every year. Then you come home and if you’re not good enough there either - it’s a grind with no end. Weigh that against the marginal value of constantly working on behaviors that probably just need time to address anyway.[/quote]
