[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take him to school in his pjs one day. Maybe have a hoodie in the car. My DD is 20, and I can tell you that the more I did for her the worse she became when she was younger. ADHD kids understand cause and effect very well.[/quote] Why in the world would you punish a kid because he hasn't yet learned to manage his disability. OP, it takes a long time and a lot of trials of different strategies. And it does get better. We pretty much built our life around teaching strategies. We put shelves and a shoe bench by the door so everything had a place. We specified where everything went, including like at school your gloves go into your coat pocket. We used checklists on a clipboard. Early on we let our son develop his own homework strategies. But it takes time and while they are learning, you do dress them and tie shoes and whatever else needs to be done. [/quote]
