[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of non ADHDers here. Punishing a kid for a disability they have is not going to help.  The kid will continue to hide the problem and it will lead to not solving the problem.  If you can afford it, get an Executive Function coach for your kid.  I suspect this kid is upset with the C, frustrated with his inability to initiate or complete tasks as bright as he is.  You need to have a heart to heart conversation about how he is getting distracted, what will work to help him start, complete , and turn in add on time. Lots of good books out there. ADDitude magazine has great free webinars by good coaches, it is how we found a coach for out ADHD kids who were unwilling to have a coach until they got unhappy with their grades and the steps they tried were not working.  Is he on medication to treat this.  The right medication at the right dose was part of the solution for my kids ( and me with a very late diagnosis, but helps make it easy for me to be understanding.)[/quote]

Did you even read my post? Or the follow up?[/quote]

Yes. You are asking about punishments.

I am guessing you don’t have ADHD.  My husband does not either and he gets really frustrated as well and thinks the is the solution.  You are just going to get more of the same. I see you set him up with an EF coach, etc.  But he continues to obfuscate and deny there is an issue.  I hear your frustration, he does too.  [/quote]
