[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10 year old boy with severe adhd. Getting ready in the morning and evening are still really painful. His brain cannot follow a thought or action at those times of days. I was just this week lamenting to a friend that I'm not sure he will ever be able to manage his own schedule! But of course he will... eventually and likely with painful mistakes before he figures out what works for him. At age 6, you just keep scaffolding and try to do so without judgment or exasperation. Learn all you can about adhd. Your child can only do so much right now, but you as the adult with perspective can gain valuable insights that will help her and you. Every year with my son has gotten better. Easier to manage, easier to understand, and he is maturing. I am looking forward to the teen years because I know we are laying ground work now for future success.[/quote]
