[quote=Anonymous]similar situation here, younger son seems to have the same issues you describe -- sitting still for meal time, assigned tasks, etc. Yet this is also the kid who has always been able to focus for long periods of time on his cars and building blocks, and who simply knew when he had too much tv and walked away. By himself, he has great on-task behavior and always has a plan he follows through. My take is that younger siblings start to copy their older sibs, and just at about this age (4 or 5), they start clueing into some of the social behaviors. I happen to think that executive functionning is one of my younger child's strengths, but I'm also at a loss looking for ways to protect that "super-power' from the daily ADHD grind we go through with his otherwise really bright older sis. I'd be grateful for resources on dealing with ADHD siblings... or simply advice![/quote]
