[quote=Anonymous]The fact that you moved here last year, is making you more pliable to give in. If you had nannies, help, overseas, you don't here. And now you are glad she has found so many friends and that is great, and not sad about the move, right? But, if your DD truly is diagnosed with ADHD, and has a weak immune system to boot, that is a recipe for being either sick or exhausted all the time. But, she was probably like this overseas too? Depending on where she was, did she have a ton of friends to play and hang out with? Play dates non stop? Simply, she isn't learning any school management skills now and might start doing poorly in school as she gets older, even if she is doing great now. Kids like yours and mine, are instant gratification ADHD kids, it is good for them to tell them no. Set the rules and enforce them. I did with pretty much the same exact kid. And to add, these same kids that are always the life of the party, it gets worse when they are teens, because you will realize that she is partying and drinking and smoking pot and you thought she was just having fun, and she is just having fun, but by then, she will stop caring about anything else than how she is perceived by her peers, being popular and you will be stunned that your darling baby is out of control teen. Trust me, I know. They are not bad kids, they just can't help the social ADHD aspect. I now track my DD's phone, drive her to DC if she wants to go to a concert, pick her up, but it is easy to go from where you are to "we'll take a metro, or just do this and this and this, and this...." Some kids are perfectly responsible and able to do this all their own, and then some are not and you have no idea where your kid is. You see, I am only presenting you here the pretty extreme scenario, imagine the blow out you have with a 16 year old that was never told no? And, I know ton of other kids whose parents are not even close to aware of just how much drinking and smoking and sex their kids are having.  And maybe that is how they want it, if that is how you want it too, disregard my advice. You need to say NO to you kid, it is healthy for both of you.[/quote]
