[quote=Anonymous]Homework in the AM is the ONLY way my ADHD/anxiety kid got stuff done in late elementary and most of middle school!

In late 7th grade, he figured out how to use the small windows of extra time during the school day to get little bits done. For 8th grade he almost never brought regular homework home, the only thing he did at home out of necessity was projects.

Sometimes he turned stuff in late. He still managed to get all B+ and above for grades.

He’s in 9th now and a major priority for us was going for a schedule with plenty of study hall options. He currently has 4 study halls and he uses them for homework, plus still homeroom sometimes Maybe this won’t work forever, but he’s so motivated to avoid evening work and he’s been able to do that since 9th grade started.

He really is so profoundly drained at the end of the school day. We tried a booster dose of meds after school during the last school year but it kept him awake too late. We’d try it again if needed.
