[quote=Anonymous]Op I’m so glad it worked! For those saying that your parents tried punishments and consequences and it didn’t “cure” your adhd so maybe he doesn’t have adhd…you’re absolutely missing the point. If the OP’s son was sitting down and TRYING to get his work done, but couldn’t focus. If OP’s son was going to teacher’s for help understanding because he couldn’t focus in class; I’m sure the op wouldn’t have taken away the field trip. The empty promise of turning things in and then not following through was adhd avoidance plus teenager pushing boundaries. But sometimes an adhd person needs a very good reason to keep going. Clearly the OP’s son could use some help somehow. Holding him accountable for his work and not allowing him a fun skip trip (with 6 other of them coming up in the next couple Of months) worked. The op made a smart move and everyone is different—stop taking your specific situation and getting defensive about it. [/quote]
