I am struggling and need some guidance from you about how to help my daughter, who has ADHD, get her homework done. I know "Zoe" wants to do well in school, but sometimes intention does not readily translate into results.   Zoe and I seem to have the same battles over and over again, especially on the weekends. Here is what happens on a typical Saturday.  Zoe will set her homework start time for 11:00 a.m. and turns in her cell phone and laptop to me at this time.  When I check in with her at 11:00 am to see if she needs help, she says, "I just need 10 more minutes."  and resets her start time to 12:00.  I want to encourage her independence so I allow it, but when I check in with her at 12:00, she is occupied with something else and resets the start time until 1:00.  As the day unfolds, the start time is pushed off until later and later.  When she finally does get to her homework, it is late in the day and she's too tired and unfocused to work on it.  The day is wasted, and we're both frustrated.

P. S.  At 5:30 I came downstairs and found her watching TV.  I unplugged the TV and told her that while I couldn't make her do her homework, I am in charge of the screens at home.  She protested some and said, "I told you I would start at 6:00 and I can always just go watch TV in another room."
