[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you’re trying to punish a disability away and that’s not ok. On top of that I don’t see that you gave fair warning of a really huge punishment. Personally I would have viewed this as yet one more intervention or strategy that didn’t work as well as you had hoped. I’d be working with my kid to develop a new strategy or tweak this one. I’ve found that requiring my son to develop his own strategies for success has been more effective than me doing it but not everything he comes up with works. [/quote] Having ADHD doesn’t mean that he should refuse help. Or that he can’t look at the portal and see that work is missing when his mom reminds him. And she IS letting her son develop his own strategy for success and figure out what works for him (or doesn’t). The kid has now figured out that if he wants to go skiing then he needs to get his work in, and if he doesn’t know how to do that then he needs to stop being a brat and accept help.[/quote]
