[QUOTE="cmh0150, post: 334357, member: 8070"] Those are good suggestions and ones we tried. In addition to taking things away (which we have now restored), what I did was to write out 4 questions, ranging from asking him to write out why he did what he did with regard to each out of control behavior he exhibited to writing out what he would do to keep from having similar behavior. I asked him to write in no less than 1000 words (that did not work out as that was more words than he could handle and we modified it to make sure that he wrote as much as he could write). He wrote well enough that it seemed there was a connection. I know however that he is a very savy kid, who knows how and what to say. So, all with a degree of skepticism. I appreciate hearing that there can be success with older adoptions - we hope that this can be one of those stories. But we are prepared if not. There is more to the story, of course. As time passes, more will unfold. [/QUOTE]
