[QUOTE="buddy, post: 503353, member: 12886"] Sigh...it is really tough, isn't it? Lots of good thoughts here, you will have to keep searching till you find what works for you. I can add a couple of ideas too but they may or may not help... 1. maybe it is not about being bored from the weekend but anticipation of school starting again? He does better during school weeks.... but does he like it better? 2. maybe it is not that you have to do a bunch of activities to keep him happy, maybe it is just that he needs a schedule....printed out. put the free times and the choice times and the scheduled activities. So, he can know, yes for now I have to pick my own activity but at 3 on sunday we go to the library or for a walk or bike ride, family game time, etc. Does he like you to read with him? My son does better if he reads a page or half of a page and I read a page..... taking turns. I am at a point now too where we do very little social because even if Q is 95% of the time ok, his not ok time is so outrageous, it makes the rest not worth it. I like the suggestion of you guys taking turns one on one... dad and youngest then dad and oldest, mom does the opposite of dad at those times. Again, put in a schedule for him. HUGS, Dee [/QUOTE]
