[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 138516, member: 1991"] Another point on avoiding work - we found with difficult child 3 in mainstream, he was always getting out of work because he would be in the sick room, or sitting outside the principal's office, or he would just not do it and I wouldn't find out about it. By the next day the class would have moved on to a new topic and the old incomplete work was never dealt with. So he learnt that if he just put it off enough, he wouldn't have to deal with it. So especially with topics he's uncomfortable with, he still tries to stall, but he now realises that THIS work isn't going away. It's taken a while for this message to really sink in, but so far this year he's doing great, in terms of working well independently and just knuckling down and getting the work done. Marg [/QUOTE]
