[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This list is great for an NT kid or even an ADHD kid who has had a lot of practice but for an ADHD kid who hasn't it's too overwhelming. Also, words like "sort" and "organize" are pretty much meaningless to ADHD kids/adults. Yeah, we get the concept but if we could do it, then we wouldn't have the mess we do![/quote] Well, sure… my son was 13 the summer we started this list, and I did work through it with him the first few times, so I take some shortcuts when I say "declutter" -- also if he doesn't actually declutter much but just takes a few things off the desk, well that's a start! Also, I try to keep the list to about 20 items, and often on weekends will tell him to choose 10 on Saturday, and do the other 10 on Sunday. Once he gets started, he usually enjoys doing all 20 so he can have a "free" Sunday -- feels like he's getting away with something. You have to tweak it to work for you.[/quote]
