ADHD Parent Coaching: how to develop Self-Motivation

[@lee-anaaitken8135]

It's difficult to watch procrastination happen before my eyes but the best lesson is so often a natural consequence

I have just found your channel, this video is soooo helpful, i have started doing the things you have suggested only because my son is heavily dependent on his playstation, i have spoken to him in a calm manner what the plan is so that he has a good routine and has good grades for school as homework wasn't being done, we're one week in so far so good its working but i do need to stop prompting, unfortunately i can't help it , im in mother mode and love things being organised.

But then can I take away my 17-year-old daughters phone if she isn't cleaning her room after being told for a week. I have done it in the past. But once I gave it back within a week, she was back to her old self. I feel her loss of having the phone gradually makes her want to do the things she avoids. How can i help her to self motivate herself without the connection with the screen?

You need to remove her phone permanently. She is showing you with her behaviors that she is not ready for it

He has a lot of emotional outburst starts throwing hitting, when I remove him from the scene to a calm spot he keep coming back n throwing so im physically in power struggle with him.
