[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 318456, member: 3419"] No fair, Marg! You beat me to it! LOL. Yes, I am going from experience here. The good thing is that difficult child loves football and that will give him an "in." And maybe the IEP won't be as obvious as I think. I can only wait and see. I don't know how much of it is that he can't deal with-doing the homework, or that he is so addicted to his PS2 and computer games. Strangely enough, we only allow him 1 hr a day, but he is still addicted. He spends the remaining time harassing us and following us around and it's a constant battle. He is so persistent! In regard to his addiction, iIt's sort of like AA. He has even admitted he can't control himself and doesn't know how. He says his friends aren't really his friends ... they're just together to play PS2. (Pretty insightful! No wonder they never want to come over to our house, even though we have almost 4 acres on the water. BO-ring!) At any rate, he will rage or at least posture as though he is going to when we take away the PS2 and still tries to grab it out of our hands. We've gone over that topic in therapy many times. Now that it's totally disassembled and he has nothing to tempt him (we separated the components and hid them), and he knows that the ban will last at least until Dec. 7, he has been remarkably good at not arguing about it or harassing us. Probably because he knows that the teachers and his parents are all on the same page and he knows how serious it is now. I'd never thought of that. I'm sitting here blinking. Hmm. :confused1: [/QUOTE]
