[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:36- thanks for your reply!  OP here and everything you say sounds so similar.  He complains about studying for a test but because he has perfectionist tendencies, after I say- “fine, don’t study, get a bad grade”- he freaks out, cries, begs me to help him study (quiz him).  It’s so frustrating and crappy how so much of after school time is dedicated to him, younger siblings get shaft:([/quote]

PP you replied to. Thank goodness, my younger child is a self-starter, and shows no symptoms of ADHD or anything else. However I do carry a lot of guilt: I hardly ever get angry at her, since she does everything she's supposed to do in record time, yet I experience daily frustration with my son, and that cannot be a good dynamic. I don't want them to think I love one more than the other.

OP here, yes- my younger two are also self starters and good listeners and we praise them for it, but then I feel guilty that my oldest hears the praise and I’m not sure what it’s doing to self-esteem.  I try to “check-in” with him at night since he stays up late reading in bed and we talk about how ADHD is hard but all the positives too- creativity, hyperfocus, etc.[/quote]
