[QUOTE="klmno, post: 175679, member: 3699"] There is some great advice and good points to think about here. Witz, his situation with the girl is very new since he just started the day camp Monday. It is a YMCA camp and he's gone for 2-4 weeks per summer for a few years now. The kids remember each other from last year. I wouldn't mind them going to a grooup event or speaking on the phone together. I thought I'd let it ride until next week to see if she is just being nice to him or if she is a little interested in him, then suggest that he ask for her phone number. He's only going to be in this camp until the end of next week, then he moves oonto another one. This experience has motivated him to get out of bed on time and comb his hair before he goes! Janet- Jamie did a great job! difficult child says he wants to be a vet often, but hasn't had the ddrive for it enough to think about much when it is tiime to do homework or study for a test! Like Marg mentioned, though- recognition from his teachers does go a long way. Bribery works sometimes for us, too. I'd like to find a good mentor for him- I tried that before but that is another post, LOL! I'll have to think about these responses some more - like totoro says though, some of it has to come from inside. gcvmom- it sounds like you've found a good thing for your difficult child. I hope he has another great experience this summer, too! [/QUOTE]
