[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 478428, member: 11791"] Don't go to home-school NOW... it would just be one more change. Assume there is a fatigue issue. It can be really hard to pin down, and can come in many forms. Just assume its a problem. Assume he is physically/mentallye/emotionally tired. Then... find ways to counteract that. Work yourself into a really rigid schedule for a while. Ya, I know, its really, REALLY hard to do. But... it can work wonders. Bedtime and alarm time and breakfast and meal times and bath times and whatever else you can... needs to be almost identical, almost every single day. Create as much stability and predictability as you can. Next... get the pre-K to do the same, as much as possible. NO "oh, I just thought of something fun" left curves... try it until xmas break, for starters - thats only 6 weeks or so. Just from what you wrote in your last post, there is something changing at least every other week... and THAT is enough to move a kid from "just barely coping well" to "totally off the deep end".
