Anybody got experience and some practical tips on how to handle ADHD child aged 13? but with mental age around 8-9. I am her step mum and have brought her up from aged 4 as she live with us full time. I cannot speak to her without getting a mouthful of attitude and rudeness. I have always done EVERYTHING to support her and her problems but am at the end of ideas in how to improve things.
I have other teenagers so know about hormones, teenage attitude etc but this is so much worse. Even the most simple request is met with mouth, drop dead looks and arms crossed strop and I am VERY tired.
