[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, teaching a child executive functioning skills is not helicoptering, you twit. You need to examine your own inflexibility. If your kid needed glasses, would you just let him fail b/c he couldn’t see properly? Adhd is how the brain is wired not a choice.[/quote] This! Remember kids with ADHD are up to three years less mature than their peers. You can’t assume they will get it. Especially organization. You need to teach and guide for longer than you think necessary. Look at the long game here. Invest in teaching and checking these habits now, so that they can do it in their own as adults. Just look for progress each year. Don’t compare to peers. And don’t look for perfection Positive rewards are helpful too. [/quote]
