[QUOTE="tee2, post: 140770, member: 591"] You mentioned that he is very bright, and that he has been saying he didn't want to go to school. Have they started anything different at school? Anything that might cause him to feel frustrated? Sometimes a bright child with a weakness, or even an Learning Disability (LD) of some kind, will get very frustrated when the weakness starts coming into play at school. You mentioned a shaky hand -- have they been concentrating on handwriting more lately at school, or something that might be a little harder for him than he's used to? Or, the reverse, could he be bored at school? I know my oldest was a classic GT/Learning Disability (LD) kid, but the school didn't recognize it because she did OK at school and was well behaved at school. But, at home, she was out of control and miserable. In hindsight, her "Learning Disability (LD)" issues (still not diagnosed or recognized by the school, but still giving her problems) were a major source of frustration for her -- she was so used to everything being easy for her that when it wasn't, she couldn't deal with it. (She's also a perfectionist). Just some thoughts! [/QUOTE]
