Hey, ADD friends: I have a child (11 years old) with ADD, and I'm struggling a bit with how to best help her have workable routines for essential self care (taking the meds, washing the body, etc.). We've tried everything she can think of, and she's very frustrated at not being able to get something workable going. She says she has a hard time remembering what to do next, and checklists didn't work (she forgets to check them).
I'm ND, but I basically have the opposite of ADD so I'm not much help. Any ideas, suggestions, resources we could explore together?

@calcifer i'm not diagnosed with anything so.. just ignore me if you want.
i use a magnetic whiteboard with rows for each day and magnets with icons on them representing tasks. if you done it, just move it to the next day. it's more "fun" than lists, because it's easy to just put a magnet onto the next day instead of searching a pen etc. i think icons are nice because you don't have to read. the whole thing can be varied a bit, e.g. take the magnet, do the thing and put the magnet back when you are finished. it's kinda kanban :)
