[QUOTE="busywend, post: 75354, member: 391"] My difficult child had 'student of the week' one year and never achieved that title. I think it really made her feel bad. I do leave the discipline for school offenses at school. However, we do try to discuss it. With my difficult child she has never done anything wrong. It is always someone else'e fault. And sometimes it is difficult to have a disscussion without her blowing up. When she was young, I found my difficult child was punished so often that if I punished her for school issues as well, she would never have any toys and would be in her room forever. When I realized she was missing a childhood (playing and having fun), that is when I started letting school issues stay at school. So, while I agree with ASO and think that is the best approach, if you are at the point I was at - it just does not seem healthy to continue to punish for school issues when there is no benefit from it and the child is suffering so already.
