Q:
I need help thinking of reasonable consequences for a 10 yr old who cannot seem to manage time or follow directions in a timely manner?
My daughter, who has ADHD, is in general a really great kid. She doesn't lie to me, she isn't mean or spiteful, she gets along well with just about everyone.
I am having a big problem though thinking of and following through with reasonable consequences for her. Our daily schedule doesn't allow for much in the way of early bedtimes or taking away of electronics..
when this happens, she only gets her "punishment" on the weekend (the only time she can watch TV or play electronic games).
it's playing in the shower, or playing when she needs to get clothes or things ready. Even when i think of something I feel like it's ridiculous later, help!!
