[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 44813, member: 23"] She sounds a bit overwhelmed. My son is 13 with-ADHD. To this day, I can not tell him to "go clean your room." "Go clean your room" is a multistep task. I have to break it down into manageable tasks. Example: difficult child, go pick up you dirty clothes and put them in the hamper. (2 directives only) When that's done: difficult child, put all your CDs back in their cases the then back into stand. (2 directives only) Put your shoes in the closet. And so on. He has no organizational skills, so it's overwhelming. He'll jump from one thing to another and then, if a task takes too long to complete, he gets sidetracked fiddling with something else and forgets all about the task at hand. I'd trigger "meltdown city" if I assigned him to clean two rooms at a time. [img]:faint:[/img] [/QUOTE]
