[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to post an update, as the OP. First of all, I really appreciate all of the feedback. Parenting is hard! I did text him mid-day and told him how much we love him and how we know how smart he is. I said we’re going to make a plan this weekend so we don’t have this issue in the future. He came home from school yesterday and gave me us the silent treatment. Fine. My husband apologized and said it’s never ok to get physical. By dinner time he was doing work. By 8pm he came down and proudly told us he got four assignments done. By 9pm he was hanging out in the family room with us chit chatting. He did ask if he could see friends Saturday night, so clearly that was motivation to get stuff done tonight. I said we could revisit that Saturday after he completes more work. No you can’t punish adhd out of a child, but not even opening his backpack all week is not trying, and that’s unacceptable. We have an appt late in Feb for a new psych/therapist. [/quote]
