[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 218768, member: 1161"] When my difficult child did that, the only thing that worked was making his world totally stop. From 8:30 to 5:30 if he wasn't in school he sat on his bed. I would make sure he couldn't just lay in bed pleasantly, there would be a lot of noise in his room, taking his blankets etc. This did cause some anger the first couple times, but too bad for him, it's illegal to not go to school. The only thing he was allowed to do during those hours was school work of some kind. If there wasn't work at home from school, I printed out worksheets from a website and he had to do those. If he refused to do that, all he was allowed was to sit on his bed. After a few days of that, he decided that being at school 9-3, even if he didn't do the work there either LOL, was a lot more interesting than sitting at home for a longer time doing nothing. OH, and even though I let him do other things after I got home, the computer & video games were a consequence of not doing the work or not being in school as well. [/QUOTE]
