[quote=Anonymous]My kid is not ADD but also a procrastinator. She now has to park the phone after school and can't use it until after homework is finished. Computer has parental controls to prevent visits to major procrastination sites. Child must do homework in family area -- can't sit in the bedroom and procrastinate in secret. We also worked with her to use more tools like how to brainstorm for writing, outlining, using placeholders when writing so as not to get bogged down by a difficult section, leaving editing/polishing until the end so as not to get distracted. With my other child who does have ADD, we also have to use more tools like graphic organizers for writing, and to talk explicitly about perfectionism. It's not necessary to write the perfect paper -- just one that fulfills the question. Write a topic sentence, use details, provide examples (even if you don't love the example you can think of, use it), etc. [/quote]
