[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 108615, member: 3444"] Well this is appropo to what we are dealing with this week. difficult child 2 got a 2-day suspension. He has to do his classwork AND homework. No TV. No video games. I look at it as a sort of time-out from school, but retaining the responsiblities of school. He also had an in-house suspension for one day last month. He sat in the corridor next to the principal's office and did his work. No recess. Lunch break only, and a short break in the morning to use the restroom, get a drink, etc. The rest of the time was school work. So that's how I handled it for home. I haven't belabored the point of why he's home. He knows why, and it's bad enough he's had to rehash it and endure repetitive lines of questioning by me, school admin, his psychiatrist, his therapist, and finally on Friday the district therapist. But I just explain this is the consequence for the choice he made. End of story. For us, the adjustment to medications and the talking-to-death over the subject is getting the message across loud and clear. I don't think this particular incident will ever be repeated by him.
