[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 102488, member: 3419"] Hi Paul, Welcome. I can't speak for the horrendous things that happened yr ago (Yikes! So sorry--sounded awful) but I can really, really identify with-the homework issue and the lying. Our son was/is the same way. He is much better now so there is hope. One thing you have going for you is consistency. Keep it up--don't just try one method and give it up. If, for example, you tell him he can't have TV because he did XYZ, then make sure you don't break down if he begs (and these kids can beg so nicely, LOL!) It is typical that he acts out more at home. I'm not a psychiatric, I just know that it's typical. I agree that you could look at dietary issues, too. Our son is much more hyper and rude after he's had wheat and dairy. In regard to the lying, I have learned not to get angry and get into shouting matches about that. I just say, matter-of-factly, that this is what happened and these are the consequences. The conscience thing will come later; just work on the behaviors at this point. Keep breathing! [/QUOTE]
