[quote=Anonymous]I had guessed she had ADHD even before you said it. Does she take meds? Can you adjust the timing of the meds? Dosage? I would see a doctor. Can you help her figure out a routine? My kid basically does nothing in the morning - clothes are laid out, bag and lunch are packed the night before, breakfast is eaten on the way to school. It really saves the scramble to find things in the morning and having to make any decisions. My child is grumpy in the morning so I don't really speak to them a ton in the morning - less opportunity to get into fights. We use alarms instead of me reminding them to do things. If you doing more for her would be helpful, I would consider it as well. Kids with ADHD take longer to mature often, I would consider treating her like a younger elementary school student in terms of providing additional support if you think it would help. [/quote]
