[quote=Dadomatic3000]Sounds a lot like my DD. Medication is likely a must. Usually stimulants are a first line drug for ADHD, but if sleep is an issue, you can try melatonin, which is a natural hormone, safe and available over the counter. There are a lot of other options for sleep, but you should talk to your doctor about those. My DD is also on a point system. She earns points by doing her homework and good behavior, which she can then spend on screen time and other goodies . If she sneaks screen time, she pays the points for the time plus a penalty for sneaking. And unfortunately, you can't afford to be sloppy. Consistency is important. If she can successfully sneak through once in a while, it reinforces the behavior. If sneaking is never successful, she will eventually stop trying.[/quote]
