[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 385742, member: 3444"] I have to throw my 2 cents in... For difficult child 2, who REALLY struggles with staying organized and remembering to do things, and whose backpack and desk were ALWAYS a mess, with loose papers crumpled in the bottom, nothing put back where it belonged... this was a maturity issue as much as an executive function issue. THIS YEAR he is really, really making progress. He is getting assignments done on time. He is remembering to turn them in. He is not putting as much off to the last minute as he used to. He's been on the same medication combo for about a year now, so I think this is as much an issue of stability for him as it is a case where his brain has matured a bit more. With that in mind, I think back to much of what Smallworld has pointed out with the Ross Greene material and my favorite quote of all about how kids do well if they can. There is an explanation for her attitude and her avoidance. I think if you can sort out what's making her balk you'll know what to do to help her overcome it. [/QUOTE]
