Long term, school will not be sustainable if it is "hell." My daughters' school allows them to work independently on advanced material and then to do certain preferred activities when they finish early, such as art and pleasure reading. The DD who has ADHD is motivated to finish her work when she knows the rest of her time will be her own. I don't know if your daughter's school would be open to something like that.


Let's hope things will get better both for her and the school system. We are trying to get her to do extras in class but she's having a hard time with the 'quietly' part.

Each kid is different. When this happens to my son I don't go out of my way to make things hard for him. It's already all very hard for him. I really to him about what happened and what he can do so that it doesn't happen again. That's all.

But like I said, each kid needs something different

I agree with dark violet in theory and my boys yeshiva works really well with my sons (I have more then one kid with ADHD) but the girls schools, from what my friends tell me have much more rigid expectations and expect a lot more obedience then boys schools. So for my boys its not anywhere close to hell but for girls it really could be so I empathize with you a lot.


Can you tell me what school your boys are in that deal well with their adhd? I really need a understanding school for my son instead of a punitive one…
