[quote=Anonymous]My DD did this. It’s anxiety coupled with new processes, procedures, homework patterns and school demands. She used to call all the time too and it would stress me out. Especially when her emotions ran high upon discovering that she missed a deadline. In the first year or two I tried to help her solve it or to calm her down. Eventually she figured stuff out and she still calls me but it’s more of a stress release valve and I just sit on the phone saying stuff like ‘wow, that sounds rough….’ And then silence while she tries to figure stuff out and then ‘Yeah you have a lot going on….’ When she lists the dozen things that are due in the next two days, Followed by more silence, tbh I’m probably starting dinner at this point or doing some kind of multi tasking, and then ‘Oh man, that stinks, you missed it? so what are your options’…. So, I’d say it’s normal OP, and it’s good that she calls you. I don’t think it’s ADHD. I think it’s a late teen doing stuff for the first time. [/quote]
