But just because she can do it for him doesn't mean that she should.

So for all the kid parents who have kids who are do have ADHD, who do have anxiety, we really want to have confidence that they want to be successful just as much as you want them to be successful.

But it might be for different things and most importantly, maybe on a different timescale.

So for me, we watched our son dial up 52s on quizzes and tests through middle school because he'd done things like study the wrong chapter.

But when it did give us an opportunity, when it didn't go well, so do you know do you know why that didn't go well?

And rather than why didn't you, it was like, Do you know why?

And it just totally changed the energy.

And now I mean he's doing beautifully in high school.

Actually, I was the the uh counselor was telling her in rehab that he's been three months clean and sober and teasing.

Um he's doing he's doing great.

And I'm still able to say, hey, would you like some help with that?

And most of the time he'll say no, but then half the time he'll come around and say, Yeah, could you look over this for me?

I'd really appreciate it.

Or I got a question on this.

And it's so it's so lovely as a parent to be able to offer help and if my kid doesn't want it, have him say no and and I'll step back.

But when he does want help, he comes to me willingly and to my wife willingly, rather than our being on top of him all the time, which is lousy for him.

And it's also a lousy, you know, role to play as a parent.

I'm always amazed by the number of kids with whom I work who have ADHD.

But they have no idea what it really means.

So I yeah, I asked this kid who I just adore him, but he's as is typical with a lot of boys, and especially boys with ADHD, does everything at the very last possible moment, in part because there's simply not enough activation, you know, and that looming deadline, that approaching deadline, perhaps the panic of the deadline that's a half an inch away, activates him.
