[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for your posts. Correct - Asian immigrant.

This discussion is helpful. I really needed to hear all this.  The military school i found is  actually military boarding school that costs $$…  I don’t want it but I feel like that’s the rational option for the better of all as our structure is not working.

The pants thing — he was going to wear loose pants lowered to show underwear — I mean, that’s a no. Else, he can wear whatever he wants…

Reading at night — that just makes me sad that it does not happen any more… the good habit is gone.

Music - there is lots of evidence kids don’t want to do it but then grow into appreciating it, and being grateful later as adults…

H/w — you guys are spot on. This child has ‘moderate adhd.’ Not medicated as parents are afraid of side effects impacting eating — appetite gets lowered…. He has food neofobia - extremely picky eating, and thus we don’t want to impact his growth if his eating gets affected from meds…

I know I need to talk to someone to just lower expectations and stop pushing myself, in the first place, to the limit of what I can accomplish in one day.

I am not convinced the explanatory variable is adhd alone… I’m afraid of medicating him…  lots of behaviors come from school — for example trash talking like some street jargon…
Addressing you ‘hey yo, arright’ etc… he sees other kids just doing nothing and wants the same as that’s easy… I’m trying to coach him you have to find self-motivation and what your passion is…. But now whatever I say meets deaf ears…
