[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with most on here. You did fine, OP. Don't give up now when the hard work is done. [b] I also don’t think you need to be sitting with a tenth grader going through work.[/b] I have 2 kids with ADHD and you cannot handhold them to that extent or they will just fail later in college when you aren’t there. Better to get the hard stuff out of the way earlier when it matters less. It’s not easy but it is ultimately for his own benefit. [/quote] I think sitting with your kid who is struggling to get through it is very effective. I don't even have a kid with ADHD but there have been instances when I have had to sit with my kids when they were this age to get them to work. It helps them settle and focus on the work when someone is there to provide some organizational scaffolding. This is also practice for when they are in college. Practice sets patters in the brain too. [/quote]
