[QUOTE="klmno, post: 192519, member: 3699"] Well, I found a way to solve this problem with my son but no one liked the solution- until it worked. I didn't replace a pair of glasses for a while. He had to live without them. Teachers were po'd at me and wanted me to punish him and replace the glasses (for the 50th time) so they wouldn't have to deal with difficult child having to move seats to see all the time. Nope- it took about 3 weeks and then difficult child came to me and said "Momma, I CAN NOT SEE. Would you PLEASE get me a pair of glasses" That wasn't yelling, it was in a desparate almost tearful and pleaful voice. Then, I got him a pair of glasses and we haven't had a problem since!! Natural consequences work wonders for my difficult child- if the school doesn't decide it's neglect first! Another thought- have him do chores to earn the money to pay for the glasses- before he gets them replaced. But really, not being able to see well did it for my son. He always knows where his glasses are now and gets upset if something accidentally happens. [/QUOTE]
