[quote=Anonymous]OP I have a son who is 11 and has ADD. Some days he does stuff that is pretty dumb but never do I think "OMG my son is so dumb, he is headed to prison." I think, "he is 11 and 11 year olds do stupid stuff. Especially if they have impulse control issues due to ADD." Common sense comes from experience (life experience) and he probably doesn't have any. Book smarts comes from, well...books. How much can an average 12 year old really know. ESPECIALLY if he has issues with learning. Entitlement comes from home, sorry to say. My kid acts entitled, but that's mostly my fault. I should have made him do chores a lot earlier, I should have made him get his own cut of water. All of this to say, you are expecting a hell of a lot from a 12 year old. Are you sure you're realistic?[/quote]
