I have a question for you guys....another one LOL...
My 10yr old difficult child, who was diagnosed with-ADD and now possibly has generalized anxiety disorder...(*at this point who knows) is attending the YMCA day camp throughout the summer...well, he is blond hair/blue/green eyes & burns/tans easily. He swims daily...and I slather him down in sunscreen in the am daily...then he takes the tube with-him to the YMCA. They are SUPPOSED to re-coat themselves after lunch before they go swimming. Yesterday when I picked him up, the instructor/organizer...told me "your son Bradley...boy is he RED!!!" "Doesn't he use sunscreen???" ARRRGGHHHHHH!!!
I'm so tired of him not attempting to do anything on his own!!! He just flat out refuses to do it, and if he does it, he doesn't know the proper amount to use or anything! He is 10yrs old, will be 11 in July! Does anybody have a difficult child that acts this way?? I have to force him to do most anything...he doesn't even take his own bath....he barely hangs up his own clothes...just got him to put his dirty clothes in a hamper. He does take his dirty plates to the sink after dinner & rinses them off...but that is the extent of it. Everything usually ends up in an argument, & I am trying to make him independent...I'm TIRED of doing everything....
Any suggestions?????
