I just got off the phone with my sons counselor who is setting up a meeting with my son and his teachers and her to discuss what to do about his lying and not completing assignments. He went on ADD meds at the beginning of the school year, it has helped him a lot with the concentrating but then he cant get to sleep at night there fore it is VERY hard to get him out of bed in the morning. I dont work outside the home and have a 21,19 and 5 year old also besides the one giving me trouble who is 14. I am soo exhausted and spend so much time trying to see if his things are done and checking on my two in college plus the 5 year old that I cant keep up! We only have 15 days of school left now, I am hoping something will sink in with him and he will realize the importance of doing the homework. My two older ones never gave me this much grief and both could of done better in high school. I have never looked on line before and stumbled on this looking on line about lying. I am glad to hear I am not the only one going through this! I just hoping he will do better next year when grades go on record! Thanks Tamara Christine,

I am completely motivated and I am on medication. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was in 5th grade. I know it is a huge problem! I want to do it, I just can't. It's not that I don't know, I just can't get myself to do it. I do small assignments during other classes, which I don't need to pay attention in because they are so easy, I always do projects and usually do papers. But I want to do everything like a normal child, I want to go to a really good college so I can become an Entomologist but that doesn't look like a possibility the way my grades are right now. My mom is a teacher and hates to see my grades the way they are. I don't know what to do. I am exactly like this boy except I am a girl, I am also a junior in high school.

It will, as the above commenter suggested, relieve the biological "deficit" but your son is going to be a high school junior and he is habituated to certain behaviors (I love the one where he renames his old assignments - clever boy - very ADD :-)) Coaching has been a recommended protocol for the treatment of ADD for over two decades. I myself was coached when I was diagnosed in 1980. I didn't have studying problems but I was socially inept among other things. Feel free to give me a no-strings-attached call. 425-316-3174 (that goes for your readers too) and to visit the ADD coaching section of my website for more info: www.RockTheWorldCoaching.com/coaching.htm Margit Crane As an ADD coach I can tell you that medication is not enough.

The medicine will do it's job, but shouldn't you also be in counseling? My son had a different problem with temper control issues. We managed his problems with both medicine and family counseling. I think the counseling would benefit both of you. You are really stressed out having to monitor his every assignment, and the counselor can give suggestions to help with this.
