[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 104898, member: 1436"] It took my difficult child an extra year to finish---not because he wasn't smart---it was because he didn't care. He is finishing his first semester of college now---he says he has all A's and B's---but he had to want it. He is two years behind his graduating class--natural consequences for the choices he made. My son has also broken his hand several times punching inanimate objects---each time he faced the consequences or having a broken hand and paying for the damages or working off the time before he got anything from us--- He recently kicked a hole in his bedroom door. He is getting a new door for Christmas instead of something he really wanted---natural consequences! [/QUOTE]
