[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 23304, member: 1835"] Sunny, I've been thinking a lot about what you said, the part about no MR or other serious issues to prevent good decision making. And, also, what JJJ said about having to make good choices, despite any mental health issues. I've always wondered, in the past, whether my son just couldn't conform on a consistent basis or simply wouldn't. His easy child told me that he had given him the benefit of the doubt for four months and had come to the conclusion that my son behaves the way he does because he enjoys doing so for the attention it gets him. I'm afraid he may be right. I think, for my son, the consequences have to be over-the-top harsh to make an impact. That, combined with his immaturity, i.e., he can't seem to think past today to see the "big picture" and behave accordingly, doesn't bode well for his progress through this program. [/QUOTE]
