[QUOTE="SRL, post: 75135, member: 701"] Jules, I see in your signature that your son has a lot of issues but currently is without a diagnosis. Some of the things that he's being asked to do may be things that fall into the category of "he can't" instead of "he won't". Before he was diagnosed, I dealt out a lot of consequences to my difficult child for things that fell into the "he can't" category and regret it to this day. Even the telling the truth/admit he was wrong issue can fall into this category. Some neurological conditions (such as Autistic Spectrum Disorders) do predisposition children to see things through from a very different perspective than what we'd consider "normal". My kid would have sat in the chair for a week before admitting he was wrong when he didn't see it that way. If your son is undiagnosed and is having this level of difficulty at the onset of school, I'd recommend looking into assessment and the possibility of an IEP with some sort of behavioral plan written into it instead of working at it from the consequences end of things.
