[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like this kid was thrown Adderall, but never accompanied in their growth: they never learned study skills, or delayed gratification, or any kind of stamina or resilience. Where do you think kids get those skills, OP? Their parents. If you sat down with her after school, and coached her to improve executive function and academics, or hired EF coaches and tutors for years, then I have nothing to reproach you with. But if you thought meds would do the work for you, not quite. Medication focuses the brain so that it can be receptive to the influences you want. BUT THEN YOU NEED TO PROVIDE THE INFLUENCE, otherwise the kid will just focus on their social media instead of handing in their homework :-) It's not too late, OP, but you'll need a plan with carrot and stick.
