[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. Sounds like you're all struggling. My ADHD kid isn't there yet, but as an ADHDer too, it sounds like he's really struggling emotionally. I am not sure what the answer is, but if you have a you vs us dynamic going, then it might be worth going to a therapist yourself to change this dynamic so he really, truly believes you're on his side. ADHDers have super low self esteem. A constant internal monologue of "I can't do anything, I'm worthless, why am I so stupid and incapable etc etc". He won't be able to perform at school while he's overwhelmed with those feeling and feeling really alone. He wants to do better, he really really does. He just can't. [/quote]
