[quote=Anonymous]She’s really young. Both my kids have ADHD. My daughter has been independently getting ready for school since about 4th grade but still needed prompting at that age because she’d get distracted. By 5th/6th she could get ready for school with timing on her own, including getting up. My son was able to do this at 17 and his senior year. Before that he needed significant prompting to get up and get ready to do things he was not motivated to do. This included school, doctor appointments, family get togethers. We had a time period of serious school refusal. He had no issues getting up early for his part time job on the weekends. By the end of junior year, maturity kicked in and he was able to get up for things he didn’t want to do. Your second grader might need help a while longer but she will get there eventually. [/quote]
