[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 26778, member: 2894"] Sillydog- I do NOT suspect that he INTENTIONALLY gets in trouble at school so he can come home. In fact, when he gets sent home, we have to call the police to help us get him home. It's a battle getting him to school, just as much so a battle getting him home. When he stays home, interaction is at a minimum, but the rule is he MUST remain in his room (otherwise, he'll get to enjoy the TV his younger brother is watching AND his tantrums put us and his younger brother in danger). We simply bring him back to his room and close the door. It goes on all day long. I don't argue...I don't even respond to him. I respond once and that's it. After that, I silently carry him back to his room. I do not engage him. Doesn't make a lick of difference, but that's what I do. Staying home is by no means a treat, fun, or rewarding. [/QUOTE]
