Question
Hello. We have a just-turned 8 year old son who gets easily distracted. We have met with his teachers to rule out ADHD. My simple question is this: is 8 years old too young to hold them to a responsibility to do their homework by themselves? I have let the work sit out on the table and if it's after 4:30 and it's not completed, then I put it back in the backpack and allow the natural consequences to take place. My child knows the expectations. What's the best way to promote independence and harness attention and focus? Thank you.
