And if I’m way off base feel free to ignore me.

She does have add and so do I. We just started her on meds this summer. I know her Dr would up her doasage again but I opted to leave it the same though September because I needed to try to have some consostancy, and it isn't like the add is a new thing in our house so I can mostly deal with it.

I am neaver asking her to go off and do things on Her own. I am always there to help her get started and most of the time to help keep her on task. I have stoped writting out all the steps to a process because the list was overwhelming her.

Wiggle worm loves super detailed lists that she could check offeach thing - get out book, get out pensel, open to x page exc. Early bird is overwhelmed by large lists and I work hard to have things kind of nested so that her first list of the school day neaver has more than 7 things, ocasionally on a multy step thing like history when there are two separate things to do I will mark it with an askteic and have a separate list for her at that point so she isn't overhwlmed looking at it.
