[QUOTE="Andy, post: 230978, member: 5096"] Thank you Small World - Yes, I agree about the more positive approach to tantrums. I will work harder on that. I also very much agree that he does not want therapist and teacher know of this weakness because he looks up to them. He doesn't understand how therapist and teacher both are my teammates in helping him grow. They can not help if they don't know the issues. Last year difficult child absolutely hated this year's homeroom teacher who was also his math teacher last year and this year. (I also tried hard last year to get him to understand that it was the math he hated, not the teacher.) His attitude has turned around and he has already picked out the Teacher Valentine card he wants to give her praising her as a teacher. difficult child is competitive with the other boys in class. The other boys always hand things in ahead of him and the boys take notice of this so he feels the other boys judge him on this. To him it is more important to keep face with his competitors than to allow himself the time he needs to do a good job. He hates the time it takes himself to complete hw. I am working very hard to convince him that quality is better than quantity (and time). He feels mostly pressured in handwriting. He takes his time and you can not tell the difference between the sample and his writing. The other kids don't put the effort in that he does (the perfectionist). He knows that if he goes faster his handwriting will suffer. If that was brain zaps from withdrawal, we will take it! That means it should be done? But I will still address it with his physical (his medication doctor will do the physical.) [/QUOTE]
