[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 78535, member: 3907"] blb makes a very good point. What has worked well for us is to have a very rigid structure, and lots of visual aids to reinforce it. For example: When difficult child needs to clean the bathroom, I hand him the Clean the Bathroom checklist, with all of the steps written down and little boxes where he can check the items off as he completes them. When he has the list in his had, difficult child does an excellent job with the chore...without it, he just stands there looking confused, because he literally does not know where to begin, or what comes after that. We have posters all over the house with rules, schedules and lists, and they really do help to keep all of us sane. ADHD makes it very difficult to keep things organized inside your head, so having external reinforcement really helps. You might want to try involving your child in making some of the lists and charts, which might also help her to remember. If you have a daily schedule, your daughter can decorate it with stickers to help her remember different tasks. [/QUOTE]
