I'm sorry that is taking me so long to respond, I saw this a couple days ago and just kept putting it off because I didn't have the time at that moment.

Age/Grade: 7/1st

Recent challenges: getting him to pay attention when we speak to him and the talking back attitude

Recent victories: we got him interested in soccer

What could you use support with/how can we help each other?
I feel like I'm constantly upset or yelling at him, I don't want to be that mon or for him to have all this angry memories of me.

QOTW: What is your big kid's favorite show? Do you watch with them? Pokemon and Curious George (he constantly wants to watch it with his little brother. CG I will watch but I really hate pokemon.

Yes. So much this. I don't want to be yelling all the time, but sheesh.

Ditto to all this. I feel like I am always yelling or telling him to stop whining/giving attitude/leaving his crap everywhere and I don't want to be that way but I also need him to cooperate.

Age/Grade: 7/1st

Recent challenges: still working on the ADHD stuff and putting all the pieces together. So many of his behaviors are related to his ADHD and it's so exhausting to deal with.

Recent victories: I am hoping that the med we have had him on recently works for quite awhile. He gained back the 2 lbs he lost.

What could you use support with/how can we help each other? I feel like a failure most of the time because L requires so much attention and help and correcting. The meds help but they aren't a cure all which I constantly have to remind H of. I can only pay attention to L so much while taking care of S. L has problems remembering to eat and drink so when I think about it I have to push food and fluids. It just sucks having to be on my game 100% of the time.

QOTW: What is your big kid's favorite show? Do you watch with them? Phineas and Ferb and I hate it so I don't watch it. He is pretty into the Power Puff girls right now but we haven't watched it together.
