ADHD/odd

DD is about to do a 2 week course 8 hours away from us, staying in uni digs, she will need to do everything herself, get up on time, cook for herself, maybe iron etc etc. I have tried everything at home however she is not forthcoming. Any tips or ideas on keeping her safe, presentable, on time etc? TIA x

Oops meant to say she's 16.

Has she got a phone? Can she set alarms / reminders on it?

That only way I can remember anything. Plus me and me phone are always together ( how sad am I)

Yes was gonna do some of that with her. I should take some paper, pens and blu tax and write reminders and post round her room. Thanks x

Hi Polter,
Luckily she's with kids from 11 to 17, sorry I know that sounds bad. No one is aware of her additional needs as so far we have always got by but then I suppose school knew. Plus the majority there will be just like her ( I think, and sorry that sounds so stereotypical). I am dropping her off and picking her up, I will do a food shop there with her when I see what facilities there are and I have told her to wash up as she uses stuff. I will be leaving her money and told her to budget. Unsure of facilities, however it is university digs with security, she has to check in and out and before bed, just hope she remembers. I was thinking about about having a quiet word but then I don't want nothing held against her iykwim.

Ah thanks for that Polter, I thought she would be ok, just slightly worried about her memory, impulsiveness etc

Dd2 Went to residential college this time last year at 16.There was a low level of supervsion and lots of bonding activities in the first week.

Make sure you have her bank details so you can transfer extra money quickly and send some instant porrige pots or pot noodle type things for her to just add boiling water if it all gets a bit too much.

Hope she has fun
