[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! My teen has been on meds since age 4 as well. ADHD and ASD. First, give grace to yourself and him. Keep your relationship strong with him because for a kid where the world can be tough, you are even more so his world. Develop and nurture common interests with him that you can fall back on after a good day or a bad day (books, nature, routines). Plan fun special things with him this summer; they’ll give you both something to look forward to and make you feel better, too, that he’s having a “good” summer. Find low stress 1:1 activities. We did 1:1 adaptive swimming for years. He enjoyed it, it tired him out, and made him safer. Triple win. Think about activities that build skills - we also did LCF Kids classes in elementary; he was never going to be an athlete but when he did get to the place where he wanted to join in a basketball game in gym or recess, he knew how to dribble and shoot (badly, but not embarrassingly - which he was aware of!). Do a summer camp theme per week at home with fun activities and outings annd learning. And don’t forget the grace - you’re doing a great job.[/quote]
