[QUOTE="agee, post: 329907"] Thanks for the advice re: exercise. We can and do try to get a lot of movement in but it can be quite the screaming battle. THat was part of what the name-calling on the ride home was about actually - his brother suggested we go on a walk/bikeride scooter ride and difficult child was completely opposed. We did go, eventually, which was good for ME if for no one else. We also got a trampoline for Xmas, which I'm hoping will be a good tool. And Thursday is gymnastics, which he sometimes participates in. Our big issue around sports/activities is that he will refuse to do them. Just refuse. And unless the coach/teacher/leader takes the bull by the horns and orders him to participate, he won't. Lots of teachers/coaches/leaders will just say "ok - your choice" and then he'll just do nothing. This is very frustrating for us since we're a)paying and b) driving him to all these things. We are in a rural area and everything is 25 - 45 minutes away. Ok. Rambling and complaining now. I'll stop. A [/QUOTE]
