[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, almost nothing. He has severe ADHD, is addicted to his phone, and doesn't do schoolwork unless I stand over him and nag. It's a really difficult period and relationship.[/quote] My boy is like this. I bonded by showing interest in what he looks at on his phone. It's a lot of tik tok memes, and I can see why he likes them. The main thing was that I stopped judging him, and how he spent his time. Instead, I just started conveying the idea that I appreciated who he was as a person, and could trust him to do the right thing -- or at least, ask for help if he had trouble figuring out what the right thing was. It was a gamechanger in our relationship. [/quote]
