[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your son medicated for ADD or are you trying to use rewards instead of properly treating his medical condition? I'm an adult with ADD who was a kid with ADD not too long ago and I never did well with reward systems---If I could stay organized I would have even if I wasn't being rewarded. The feelings of frustration and self loathing are brutal.[/quote] +1 My mom always thought kids are over diagnosed and over medicated. She wouldn't entertain the notion that I had add as a child. I just needed to try harder. As an adult, with proper treatment I can do anything. Without my meds, I can't even load the dishwasher in under an hour. All the rewards in the world won't help me be motivated. If anything, they distract me because I'll start thinking about them instead of the task at hand. Then I get frustrated with myself for not being able to do that one simple thing. Don't dismiss meds before giving them a fair shot. [/quote]
