[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 327589, member: 3419"] Oh, another note about me. Oh, wait, it's about someone else ... LOL! I always tell people that if my son weren't so cute, I would have killed him by now. ;) So, I agree with-the others, that spanking won't work. In fact, it exacerbates the problem, because once his system is lit up, it's just going to continue until he has a nuclear meltdown. In fact, if he's like my son, he'll rise to the task and it's almost like he looks forward to the fight. I would break down his homework into bitesize chunks. IOW, if there's a paper due, have him type/write his name at the top with-the date, the teacher's name, and the title of the paper. That's Day 1. The next day is one sentence. It may seem like it takes forever, but eventually, he'll get into it and finish it. (And I sometimes trick my son into doing 3 or 4 sentences and voila! He's done! Not the length I would wish for, but it's better than nothing.) I also agree with-the others that therapy, medications, massage, and exercise are great for dealing with-kids like this. Time alone is a must. Please type in a profile at the bottom. My memory was sucked out by my son ... [/QUOTE]
