Sep. 28, 2007 - TIPS NEEDED FOR HOMESCHOOLING A TEEN WITH ADHD

Home schooling has started (well, we have been doing it for about a month now).  We are using the   Bridgeway Academy curriculum.  For Chris, it involves Math and Etomology being hand written and LA, Science and History/Geography being on CD (it is actually the SOS CD'S from Alpha and Omega).  He has some literature to read as well.

Now, I honestly felt that this would be the best route for Chris as he is not a "group" kind of kid.  He likes to be one on one or small groups with friends.  He does have a select few kids that he hangs with.  He is popular even tho he doesn't socialize with big groups.  He also can be highly distracted and unmotivated.  At 14, I have been unsuccessful in helping him to be more organized (well, we have had him now 7 years, so in 7 years...)  We had been working until 9 or 10 pm on homework when he was in private school.  When he went to public school, he never did homework.  He lied about it and acted all clueless about how he possibly could have not gotten good grades.  (to defend him a bit...he is HIGHLY FORGETFUL.  I mean HIGHLY FORGETFUL)

How do parents who homeschool their kids with ADHD train them in motivation and in organization?  HELP!!!!

Thanks so much!!


He is Risen, Just as He said!

A weblog that chronicles our life and times. I plan for it to include discussions on Christian home life, marriage and family, homeschooling, adoption and special needs. I am sure there will be some political discussions as well.
