[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you all parents and kids do it?
with AP classes, and tough courses including Pre Calc. and then activities.

How?? The stress as a parent to see my child struggle so much is getting to me ... My DS works very hard but it has been a tough year. [/quote]

What is the stress for you?  If anything I try to be sure my kids learn how to manage their time and stress.[/quote]

OP- yes, I'm trying to do the same. However, with so many quizzes and tests and activities, it is hard to manage everything. with work and helping them with their stress and manage everything. [/quote]

My youngest is a senior. I don’t get this. What are you managing?  By HS they need to manage their own schedules and we were on the sidelines for support, rides and money. [/quote]

The short answer is you are lucky. You have kids who are more mature than the rest and don't have ADHD. I'm shocked about this but almost everyone we know helps their HS age child with a lot of the day-to-day administrative stuff. 
My child daughter to me that they were the only ones packing their own lunches and shopping for their own groceries. I didn't believe her because really everyone was packing their own lunches by like 3rd grade but then I asked a lot of parents and they all told me they were doing those things as well as doing laundry to save their DDs time because their DDs were really pressed for every minute. I do get it. I feel like every day my daughter is not getting enough sleep no matter how hard she tries and how much we cut back.[/quote]

You make assumptions. I’ve been through this three times - twice with kids with SN, including ADHD, and once with a NT, kid. I didn’t handle the day to day for any of them and all were successful. [/quote]
