[quote=Anonymous]Stay strong. It is just a ski trip. You're right to take it away so he has time to catch up on assignments. He will probably not use that time to do work, but instead sulk and try to do something else fun. Just remind him that other ski trips are at risk too. He should also apologize to your husband for getting physical. I also agree with stepping back and letting him taking the responsibility to do the work. He's too old, you won't be there for him always, he has to learn somehow. It is harder for ADHD kids to develop that skill and it may take longer but they will. Failure is part of the process, don't be scared of that. It is better to fail now when he's still young then later, in college or worse, in adulthood. [/quote]
