[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 456710, member: 1991"] I think those are good points, Allan. But I think it would be really effective if that approach could be used along with a mentor or some other person to basically shadow difficult child and help him stay on task and not annoy people. If there was a person with him who could (when he starts sticking his head through the goal net!) say to him, "Come one, swim up the other end and watch how the defence is handling the play," or "Why not use this time to practice your leg strength so you can use just your legs to hold yourself in position or even get your body higher in the water?" Or some other water polo skills. But I agree, a mentor would help a lot. When we had problems with difficult child 3 in school, the worst problems tended to be when there was no structured activity. That was when he benefited most from supervision and someone else organising him (and others) into alternative activities. Marg [/QUOTE]
