[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have not read all the responses, but this is very familiar to me. My 18 year old ones like that around the same age. There were two things that made a difference. The first one is a picture book where you go over every step of the morning routine with your child either you draw the picture or did they draw the picture and label it and put it together in a book, or like we did taping the pages of the picture around his bedroom. If you do the book, you may have to go over that book every night for weeks with your child before they go to bed. Then, you do have to monitor them to make sure they’re doing each step and remind them of each step every single day. The other one is to forget punishment, and yelling. Use rewards. Find her currency and literally dangle it in front of her to get things done. Whatever it is use it to your advantage. I guarantee you that rewards work infinitely better with an adhd child than punishment does.

No, this is not magic and things will not change drastically overnight. It is a process, but if you stick with the process, I guarantee you things will get better.
