[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid that young with ADHD needs a parent present while getting dressed, especially if not yet medicated that day. If it’s got a lot of steps, it’s hard for them. Incentives and removing distractions do help. I’d take the kid and clothes downstairs with you and gave her get dressed wherever you are.[/quote] My ADHD kid just turned 8 and still needs me with him while he gets dressed. I am not always directing him, but my presence helps him remember he is supposed to be doing something. We bring clothes downstairs and get dressed there after breakfast - sending him upstairs again to get dressed was a nightmare. We also have toothbrushes in the downstairs powder room to eliminate going back upstairs at all. I do give consequences for behavior that is part of ADHD, but where we can just use a different routine, that’s my preference while they are still this young. [/quote]
