[QUOTE="Crazy-Steph, post: 42293, member: 3729"] Well, specifically, I could give you a long list of things that he doesn't do that he should. When asked to clean the kitchen, he will load a couple of things in the dishwasher and then just leave the rest. As far as homework (or classwork) he just doesn't bring it home. Or if he brings it home, he doesn't turn it in. I mean even things they do in class. He will argue with his brother and sister and then blame it on them. We will see him hit one of them and then he will lie to our faces about it. I have caught myself questioning my sight before! [img]:smile:[/img] He does know right from wrong. When we ask him why he is trouble he can tell you. But it doesn't stop him from doing it again. Yes, we don't mind that he is drawing, but this in in place of anything else. I think the lying is the biggest problem right now. I cannot tolerate lies. But he doesn't seem to care. Then he gets mad at us for not believing him. We had him on a reward system earning puzzle pieces for every thing good that he did for the day. 5 pieces earned him TV. I noticed that every time Lost came on (his favorite show) he earned more than enough. (I mean a piece for having his binder; a piece for having homework; a piece for putting the dog in the kennel in the morning--very very basic things). I asked him why he had enough on Wed. but no other day. He said there was nothing he wanted on the other days. Since I raised the price of TV to 10 pieces, he has not earned more than two pieces a day since. Once he had to put effort into it, he lost interest. These are deliberate acts. Aarg! [/QUOTE]
