[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a kid like this your #1 tool and natural consequence is the phone time. He probably cares about it and it’s also very likely a root cause of getting the work done.[/quote] In my experience for ADHD teen, natural consequence parenting did not work. You need to work with what you have - not what you wish you had.[/quote] I said this as a parent of an ADHD teen. The phones are really terrible for all of us but particularly bad for ADHD teens. So the natural consequence part is your brain and the way it functions, the phone is a real barrier for you that you can't handle. You probably can't interact with a phone the way a typical teen might be able to. YMMV.[/quote] +1000000000 never get a teen a smartphone, but getting and ADHD teen a smartphone is sabotage.[/quote]
