[quote=Anonymous]Some of these are good but all you can do is establish boundaries, you cannot make her mature. ADHD kids often lag in maturity by 2-3 years.[/quote] +1 This was me four years ago. First of all, take care of yourself and your mental health. This can be overwhelming and you as a parent will feel like a failure. It’s not your fault. My DC moved home and switched to community college, got an on-campus job, went back on ADHD meds and slowly pulled themself back out of the depression/academic failure spiral. Your DC can do it with your love, support and patience. Looking back, my DC was not ready for a 4-year college but they are now thriving and will graduate from a 4-year college next year. Wishing you and your DC the best of luck! P.S. ADHD meds really work. [/quote]
