[quote=Anonymous]Look, sometimes you need the kid to feel the pain. If he hears your frustration, anger, he thinks you are the problem, not the way to a solution. Kind of like telling a smoker to quit smoking that knows the hazards. It becomes a power struggle. Ask him how he feels about the grade. Is he proud of the work he has turned in. Listen. Don”t criticize. Let him sit with the problem. Ask if he wants your help or to try an EF coach. The first EF coach for my kids looked good on paper, but were awful and exacerbated the problem. My kids would not go by to an EF coach for MANY years. But first one did and then the other followed. They recognized that they couldn’t solve on their own. One person once said ADHD figure out how to solve things. Once they get out on the real world they will excel. [/quote]
