[quote=Anonymous] There's a difference between downtime and laziness and your child seems have inadvertently crossed the line. You have to make a *very short* list of things he has to do before he plops down on the couch, such as giving the puppy a potty-break, and putting his lunch things in the sink, or whatever you think needs to be done immediately. Does his favorite TV program start right when he gets home? The puppy comes first, unfortunately. Perhaps there should be no TV allowed until he understands this. I know it's hard, my 11 year old has inattentive ADHD and has grown progressively more responsible with his time and duties, especially when he's on meds. Without meds, ie, in the morning and evening, I sometimes tear my hair out.[/quote]
