Thanks for the reply and sharing your own experience. We've definitely noticed positive reinforcement is HUUUGE. He's so proud of himself when he remembers to get to bed on time, or completes the morning routing w/out reminders.
My parents for some reason thought hanging negatives over my head always mentioning "think of what would go wrong if you don't do the right thing". Honestly, this just left me with a bunch of hugely negative self-talk issues that took a while to unpack since many of those things also had to do with my ADHD.
