[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 52423, member: 23"] Its hard not to take our ADHD kids behavior personally, but its not personal. If youre not familiar with-the 2/3rds rule, its helpful knowledge in understanding behavior. Its pretty typical for an ADHDer to operate at 2/3rds their chronological age maturity and emotional-wise. ADHD doesnt affect intelligence, but if your 11 year old seems to be acting like a 7 yr old, its likely the best he can do. I try to work around these type problems the best I can. 30 minutes may seem like a life-time for your son. Try breaking the reading session down into 5 10 minute increments. (My son hates to read because its difficult for him, so even this is a stretch for him.) Understanding emotions . Definitely a difficult problem here . My son still has problems identifying feelings and reading body language. Welcome aboard. [/QUOTE]
