[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD child was somewhat like yours. I forced the issue of practicing school work at home. That means I sat DS down and said that we are working on academics and nothing else during this period. When he drifted off topic, I would stop, tell him that he's off topic, and then begin again. When we were both frustrated, we took 10-20 min. breaks and then went back to working on academics. I often times found areas that the teacher didn't know that my child was lacking in. He wasn't getting and retaining the foundation info, so I re-enforced the academics at home. I explained the consequences of not complying and what it could mean for his future. I told him that if you don't have the foundations, then you will struggle for much longer than is really necessary. Now that my child is a little older and is more capable of working independently, I am a little more laxed in re-enforcing academics at home. The social/behavioral side of ADHD was worked on at home using apps, shows, and basic interactions with siblings. This works for us, it may not work for others.[/quote]
