[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 418682, member: 9175"] Unlike your difficult child, mine LIKED school and she almost always liked her teachers...but she was still unmotivated The older she got, the worse it got. When she was younger, I could use external motivators (1st grade, you get a sticker every time you finish a worksheet. Ugh, for the days it was so simple!). When she did work, she did very well - esp, during the first two years she was taking Strattera. Eventually that wore off and she slipped again. Sometimes external motivators worked, sometimes we had to do things like take her cell phone until the next grading period and sometimes we just had to let natural consequences rule. I wish I had some majic words for you. Dash [/QUOTE]
