[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 53280, member: 2423"] I find it helpful with J to figure out what the most important issues are that we need to deal with at the moment (a la Ross Greene in The Explosive Child). In our case, it's medications, therapy, homework and going to school (and in the summer going to camp). He can't seem to handle much more than that at this point. So his room is a mess, he doesn't do many chores (on occasion, he will walk the dog or take the recycling out), he's not great on the hygiene front, but we can only work on so many issues at one time. I don't look at this as laziness -- I believe J has to confront so many more emotional issues than the average kid has to deal with that he just can't be that average kid. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
