[quote=Anonymous]OP it's hard. I also have a teen with ADHD and we try to balance between natural consequences AND troubleshooting conversations to help them with workarounds.Then we hold them accountable to executing the workarounds. When they miss the bus, we'll ask them where they ran into issues or what they were missing to be able to make the bus, then identify steps to solve it. Best if they identify their own ideas. E.g., if their issue is they didn't know what time to be out the door, then they decide to start a habit of looking at the bus schedule as soon as they get up. THEN, when they fail to do their workaround (forgot to check the schedule), they get natural consequences and have to walk. Because now they have something very specific they know they need to do next time. I agree with pp that natural consequences are a must - they need that external pressure to want to use the workarounds. [/quote]
