[quote=Anonymous]It seems pretty normal for a kid who sleeps 8 hours a night to want more sleep. But a normal teen is not going to go to bed any earlier than 10 pm. Thus, a desire for a nap after school. My ADHD kid had activities 2 to 3 hours a day, four days a week, but still fit in practicing his instrument, naps and homework. If your kid is wanting to nap before his meds are worn off, it's possible that they are in fact actually worn off and trying to do homework immediately after school is probably torture. My kid did his HW at the end of his day after he did everything else - he could focus if he knew he was running out of time and had already taken care of everything else he wanted/needed to do after school. Let your kid decide when "homework time" should be.[/quote]
