[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 331266, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Terry, wm pulled those things all the time - still does or tries to with foster mum. Fortunately our schools have homework emails that go out at the end of each day. Having said that, wm has been diagnosis'd with a gaming addiction. He's been cut off - had to donate his PS2 to the local children's hospital & then we put a "danger bored wm" box together. (wm doesn't believe he's addicted - his psychiatrist begs to differ.) We're pushing the old classics books, hobbies (wm's quite the artist as well), along with every science fiction book I can find from husband's book collection. I've thrown in a portable dvd player & some movies he can watch while he's with foster family & doesn't like what's being watched. Introducing him to the classic movies like African Queen, old Dracula films, some of Mel Brookes films & the like. Okay, this really started out by saying that wm has been diagnosis'd with a gaming addiction. And we are putting interventions in place. wm's doing all the lying, stealing & every other behavior you can think of to get at games. psychiatrist thinks this could be a jumping block to other addictions once wm becomes an adult. Soooooo. ..... what can you replace (that's pleasant) for your difficult child to do rather than the electronic games? Just food for thought. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
