[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 545583, member: 10"] Weary Mom, I am a man and a dad and I know that mom's have a harder time, but ' worrying ' does not help and gets in the way of a quality life. What has worked well with my kid has been his ability to seek out mentors who have guided him. Today - personal coaching is the in thing and having somebody to guide your son and manage his ADHD could be very helpful. Positive peers , finding positive students to study with - helps. Combining Athletics with academics can be a challenge - I would help him monitor his progress. You know your son and the situation better than we do. The advantage we have ,is that we can take a detached view of what is going on - try to see it also from your son's eyes and as outsider. The best advice I was given was to talk to my then 9yo as I would talk to my neighbour's 25 yo - collaboration and problem solving . Also - I mentioned it before , something that came from a mentor had more chance of being heard and internalized than his parent sending you positive thoughts and prayers [/QUOTE]
