[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time blindness causes them to miss the bus- do you make them walk?  School is a mile away - kid is a teenager.  Driving them makes me half hour late.

Or they say they didn't get a Christmas present that you know you bought them and put in their stocking.  How do you make them take accountability for that?

I'm just imagining them telling their boss they never got an assignment their boss gave them.  Or missing deadlines.  At times, I am totally out of patience and don't know how I will survive the next 3 to 7 years.  [/quote]

I'd wake them up every morning and make sure they get to school.  If it's safe, they can walk.  If they want a ride, they need to be ready earlier.[/quote]

Okay, but leave it to an ADHD kid to actually walk to school on their own with no supervision and report back. I would love to drop the rope, but that would be a guaranteed failure. Natural consequences work to a degree, but you have to keep them moving forward on some things, quite literally. [/quote]
My kid with ADHD has been walking to school for years now. Frankly, the morning exercise is good for her focus at school. [/quote]
