[quote=Anonymous]My child with ADD is the same. Not to throw out the old ADD thing again, but... sometimes when kids are about 10 or 11 it catches up with them. My child is dreamy... can spend 45 minutes just thinking about packing her back pack. She'll spend two hours resisting doing 20 minutes of homework. Just passive resistance, just not doing it. SLOW. You can think of your child as having a disability and slowing over time help him understand his own needs and skills and strengths and weaknesses. What you want is that in 7 years he is capable of taking care of himself alone on a college campus, or living at home, working and going to community college. It's a slow and steady process. We're still deep in it, and I'm struggling myself with how to back off to some degree. Good luck! [/quote]
