[QUOTE="CatMat, post: 196774, member: 5914"] Alirhgt.... I totally agree with keeping grades at an acceptable level. My difficult child is failing a class at the moment and has been "grounded" however, he ignores that and walks out anyway. Since I feel this is a powerplay on his part, I chose not to engage it and have been finding other punishments if he walks out. He used to have a TV in his room, which is now gone until his behavior changes and is consistent. I also used to drive him to school, which I stopped doing and told him it was because I did not appreciate the way he is being disrespectful, and plan to continue this, hoping it eventually has an impact on the situation. The thing I am afraid of is this year he is actually participating quite well with most all his teachers including his IEP teacher as in past years, he fought everyone trying to help him through school, and I really don't want him to revert back because of the pressure I'm putting on him. Although I am prepared to let him go down that road if he so chooses as I feel no teenager in my house will "call the shots". I remind him often that these things I am taking away are ultimately because of his choices. Any suggestions as to different things to try? [/QUOTE]
