[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 681428, member: 19076"] Thanks for the suggestions, Pigless. I agree with a lot you are suggesting and have already implemented some of it. They used to have TVs in their rooms and would fall asleep watching...or not. When I moved in, the TVs left their rooms. They have ipads and we let them play their ipads or watch a show on them after dinner as an incentive for trying hard that day. They get more ipad time during the weekend when I'm not home because Dad wants to watch his shows, and I think they are too mature for the kids to watch at their ages. They have books in their rooms or on a bookshelf in the hallway. I make sure they read on all the week days and Dad will read to SS10 at night before bed. I cut out a lot of the sugar and junk food in their diet, and I'm not a baker so we don't have a lot of cookies laying around to tempt even me. We have fruit, cheese sticks, nuts, etc. instead, which they enjoy. I'll have to think about the night time thing. He already has 30 minutes to read after going to bed. InsaneCdn, you bring up a good point. I don't believe SS10 has ever had a full evaluation. Bits and pieces here and there, but I don't believe anything that was complete. That being said, my husband and I met with a family counselor today to discuss what happened over the weekend and other things that have occurred and he recommended in-patient treatment, which my husband was finally willing to accept. He will be looking into the children's hospital in our area and getting things set up for a full evaluation. [/QUOTE]
