Children do not truly even start to develop logic until around age 7 and with ADHD that’s going to be delayed as with most executive function. So using it with younger children is not especially useful. From what I’ve read of it, in older kids it tends to encourage setting them up to fail so that they “learn from it”. In older children, I think it is ok to allow natural consequences but also as important to learn to succeed as it is to learn how to handle failure. IMO better to set them up for success when they are younger so that when they are older they can use their then developed logic to troubleshoot their own problems.
This chart is a good guideline though I’m not sure I agree with the last part about development stopping at 30. I don’t think you can paint every ADHD kid with the same brush but it’s a good reminder that their executive function is delayed.
