[quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader walks half a mile to school solo, daily and has been since last year, so age 9. BUT he has severe adhd and cannot get himself ready alone in the morning. He has no concept of time. Alarms and check lists dont work. He needs someone to remind him and prompt him and get him out the door. He would not be capable of waking up solo. He comes home alone in the afternoon, no problem. Medicine has kicked in y then and there are no expectations to be on time. Once recently both my husband and I were unable to he home in the morning. We woke our son before we left, and then had a neighbor come by 20 minutes before he had to leave the house. That was fine. He was motivated to show responsibility and had an adult checking over him. I am hopeful by the teenage years he will be able to handle morning routines with less interference.[/quote]
