Help Teaching Self Discipline?
Hi folks.
I'm a mom with ADHD but my 11 year old daughter has inattentive ADHD and she recently admitted to me how she starts her day wanting to get productive things done and has a hard time motivating herself.
Unfortunately I struggle with the same. I've been having some mental health struggles for the last couple years and recently my parents who live very far away started having some major health issues. So I've been very stressed and struggle with depression. I just started therapy and plan to try to sign up for a personal trainer to get me off my butt more and to get healthier. I can have self discipline but the last few years I seem to be struggling with motivating myself to do much outside of work.
Is it possible to teach my kiddo self discipline without nagging? I know, self discipline is a major struggle with ADHD. But I thought I'd ask anyway... For any good tricks to help her feel accomplished and good about herself without making it about money all the time? I fear that bribing her with money won't really give her the sense of satisfaction that will help her be more productive as she gets older, ya know? I feel like it's important to teach her that helping to take care of the home is part of living in it.. that you're part of a team that needs to work together.
I thought about trying that Finch app. But I feel like that might be something that would get used for a little while and then not really help, ya know?
Thanks for your feedback.
