[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 429585, member: 11755"] I think a hard thing for dad's to accept is that its NOT always just a discipline issue. Aside from just being a normal pre-teenage boy does he have any official diagnoses? The thing is, at least with my son, the logical parenting styles just don't work. Its not a matter of him holding the cards, its about finding what works best for your family and to help him be sucessful. Knocking some sense into him won't change anything, if there's something else going on in his head you have to figure that out and learn how to work with it. If you have been doing the same things for the past 6 years and they're not working to straighten him out, its probably time to try something else :-) As for the medication, I have a friend who has a daughter with ADHD, she needed medications for school and home behavior issues. The friend's ex said no so she got medical documentation and went back to court with it. I won't pretend to understand all of the legal things that went on but bottom line is the daughter is on medication now. If he really NEEDs medication, there are ways to get it for him with or without dad's support. [/QUOTE]
