[quote=Anonymous]If you think he is just lazy, get the book "The Well Behaved Child" by John Rosemond. He advocates consequences and getting kids to take responsibility for their own work. I am the PP with he son who was diagnosed with ADHD in second grade and was recently told he might have stealth dyslexia. My son had a horrible reaction to 2 different meds, so I used the above referenced book to work on behavior modification without medication. A very helpful book on working on executive function is "That Crumpled Paper was Due Last Week", by Ana Homayoun. She gives good solid advice on study skills, scheduling time, how to write a paper, etc. I am not ruling out medicine in the future, but right now we are working on other coping skills. Best.[/quote]
