[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: forgetting -- I don't necessarily think that's a lie. It's just a way to say in the moment her impulse to text a friend something exciting overtook what she knows as the rule. That's the very nature of ADHD. It doesn't mean she couldn't have told you the rule right then if she had been asked.[/quote]
If you know ADHD affects her ability to behave appropriately, why have you given her unrestricted access to a smart phone?

My middle schooler doesn't have ADHD and her phone becomes a brick during the school day.   Texting isn't an option.  You are glossing over your responsibility as a parent to give her freedoms incrementally as she shows she can handle them.   Basically, you're a lazy parent.[/quote]

I wasn't the OP. I'm simply not so sure it was lying.[/quote]
Op just can't have it both ways. If her daughter is forgetting such basic things then she shouldn't have full access to a smartphone. Op only plans to take away the phone for a couple of days, and then everything would go back to normal with her daughter having full access to a smartphone. That's entirely inappropriate for a kid who can't remember when they shouldn't be on their phone.[/quote]
