[QUOTE="whateveryousay2007, post: 99591, member: 4265"] I've bragged about how wonderful difficult child teacher is. She really is. But....we've decided to put him on a reward system. He has a sheet that he keeps on his desk and for every 30 minutes he stays on task & does his work he gets a smiley face. For every smiley face he gets he's allowed 5 minutes of "free time" to read special "karate" books in class. It worked fine for 2 days. His behavior has went from so-so to out of control. He has never been the defiant child until now. He has had the principal deal with him 4 times last week. Once this week. (he only has 2 days of school this week) They went out for recess. For some reason the time was cut short and difficult child decided to sit down on the playground and not come back in. Then he's gotten to where he will hide his sheet to keep me from seeing it. And when he got in trouble he pulled the "I have a headache" routine with his teacher. She told him she wasn't calling me. He does this when he knows he's done something wrong. So when he went to specials he goes to the office and calls me at 1:45....school lets out at 2:00. His teacher walks by the office and catches him and tells me what is going on. When I walked in to get him from school he put his head down and wouldn't look at me. Then 5 minutes later acted like everything was fine. He is sweet one minute and if something isn't going his way or he wants something he will turn into the most hateful, stubborn, rude & disrespectful child. He goes to Vandy on the 30th. What do I do until then? Call the doctor about his medications? And his inattention is absolutely horrible! [/QUOTE]
