[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 116397, member: 805"] SnT, I wish I had some fabulous advice for you - I don't. My difficult child is still in middle school and he is not dealing with a mood disorder, or odd, or BiPolar (BP) (at least that we know of!). It sounds like you are doing everything you can for your grandson. The six months he missed school have definately added to this situation. It's so hard for our kids who struggle in school to even think about making up or catching up in school. It's like an uphill climb to the tallest peak - overwhelming. Their solution, shut down. I don't really believe the school is doing all the should/can to help your difficult child. It appears they are just giving you lip servive and the bare minimum. Would you be able to access an educational advocate to help and advise regarding the school? Is there anyone that your difficult child really trusts that could help him find the motivation he needs to get back on track? I think sometimes with teens, whether easy child or difficult child, it's all about finding the right motivation to either spur them on or get them back on track. Is your difficult child in any type of therapy? I'm wondering, even those he's seeing a board cert psychiatrist, when he had his last complete evaluation? You definately are doing your best by this young man. I hope you are able to find some answers/solutions to get him back on track. Sharon [/QUOTE]
