[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 682643, member: 20025"] Yes do have him evaluated by a medical doctor and a psychologist. Sort of like a computer, there can be "hardware" (medical doctor) and/or "software" (psychologist) problems. At the same time take parenting classes. The best part of those classes is there will be other parents in the class who have kids with similar problems to yours - and they can offer suggestions which WORK! Ask at the school or a local mental health type department where you can find parenting classes. Another thing which can help (if you have time) is to sit in class and observe him. That can help with older kids and behavior problems - they will not misbehave if the parent is present in class. I don't know if that will help in your situation? But another thing you can try. And note that with some kids, "normal" parenting techniques simply do not work. So it is important to find out the specific diagnosis, learn about it, then use the specific techniques which have been show to work for that diagnosis. For example some kids DO NOT RESPOND WHATSOEVER to any sort of punishment or negative comments! BUT they do very well with positive comments. So might try that too. And "hyperactive" kids can be prescribed medicine and still do bad in school. But adjust the dosage up a little and all of a sudden they do wonderful! (So keep giving the doctor feedback about the kids behavior.) [/QUOTE]
