Sadly no one gives single moms money to pay for adhd/odd school in Florida. My daughter might actually be able to be saved if I had what she needed. But you have to be rich for that. And I have a masters degree and still don’t make enough to support that.

My issue is that my daughter tells me the homework is done, it's in her locker or turned in and there's nothing that I can do to follow up. Besides the fact that her grades keep slipping. Consequences mean nothing to her.

When tips fail because of whatever circumstances I advocate landing on the side of love and affection. Your child will benefit from that much more than from the long-lasting memory of you forcing him to do homework. (And, anyway, who likes homework, really.
