[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that stood out from your post: it would have been better to have made your 10 yo look for his sunglasses that he misplaced. [/quote]
I did. And I do that regularly. And typically I do tell him I can't help him when he knows he's supposed to put them away properly.

I don't know why I stepped in today.

Just hearing him ask for my help triggered anxiety because I feel like I am failing at teaching him this life skill, and I worry it will be impossible to do so with his dad disrespecting the process. [/quote]

I suspect that, with your son, you're struggling against your husband's genetics a lot more than with issues related to his respect of the process.[/quote]

Am in the same boat and I and the doctors involve agree it is VERY difficult to tease out environmental factors (loose goosy parent, parents arguing, bad habits in the household) and executive functioning deficiencies, and how to treat.   Having one parent who he himself a needs prompting in order to prompt a developing child (to turn in homework, to shower, to brush teeth) is not good. [/quote]
