[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 206124, member: 3419"] Jules, I can't add much except that I agree with-BBK that you cannot and should not project into the future. Take it one day at a time. Think AA. :) Right now we're just trying to get our difficult child through 5th gr. Can't keep his hands off girls' hair ... licks garbage cans ... ***** air ... Hmm. Definitely sensory and impusivity issues, not being "bad." You WILL get a good diagnosis at some point. Keep breathing. Go ahead and have a good cry and get it out of your system. And then pick yourself up and keep at it. (We all have a lot of good cries.) :( In reg to punishing school-related things ... usually, the teachers handle it well enough. I'd skip it, especially since he's only in kindergarten. If it's something major, like a 4th grader who had a month to do a book report and didn't even read the book, I would definitely ground him off of TV and video games. But those are not the same thing to me. I'd reframe the issue with-your little one, and instead of asking him if he licked the trash can, just tell him that you and the teacher are worried about his acting like he licked the trash can, and what can he do to resolve that issue? Like, stay away from the trash can? Sit on the other side of the room? I think that will help him think of solutions and how he might feel in the situation, rather than make him feel put-upon or defensive. [/QUOTE]
