[quote=Anonymous]I think losing the ski trip is, in principle, a normal and justifiable punishment. If he cannot complete his school work in the time he has, then he needs to lose fun things in order to make more time. The problem is the surprise element, which was going to backfire with or without ADHD in the mix. At this point, I think the PP who proposed a "reset" is correct. Do you have the ability to get him a message at school? I'd get him a message saying that skiing is back on for tonight only, and that you will discuss the situation tomorrow (Saturday). But then you need to stick to your guns, OP. Make a clear expectation, give him the tools to succeed, have a clear consequence that is not a surprise, and then enforce it. [/quote]
