Proud Parent
Feeling chastened. You are absolutely right. She does get very frustrated with herself, and I've heard her say, "i can't do anything right!" She's always the first one to spill her drink at the dinner table, and her teacher calls her "miss chatterbox." I'm just going to make sure the new gym knows what is going on, and I don't want her using ADHD as an excuse to blow off a coach telling her to do something.
As far as form, it's hard to say. A lot of it seems to be the toes pointing in the right direction. I wouldn't say her ROBHS is great form yet. Her legs tend to be apart when she does them. She really doesn't care about placement. She is just as happy in 3rd place as 6th place because they all seem to get medals. I'm sure that will change when she gets older.
Don't beat yourself up. Being a parent of an ADHD kid is hard. What IWC is very true. Its such a balance between trying to raise a responsible well adjusted adult and raising an entitled brat!
Personally, I leave this in the coaches corner. Give them the info they need and let them come to you if there is a problem. I think an exp coach can tell the difference btwn 'bad' behavior and ADHD. They should be able to handle both!
