[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 666961, member: 5689"] Hi, OldMom. I, too, am an old member who just came back. My own high-school-age difficult child goes to class but often doesn't do his homework, in part because of addiction (I use that word loosely; we don't have a diagnosis) to screens. Just wondering, what kind of school is MC in? Would an IEP that provided for at-home tuition be an option while you try to figure out how to treat his anxiety? And why did he fail the online course, do you think? My son wanted to do an online course this summer, and I made him responsible for signing up for it. I figured if he had the drive and follow-through to sign up for it, there was a chance he'd do the work and pass it. Well, he never signed up for it. So: bad that he missed the chance to get the credit, but good I didn't waste my money. I'm not sure if this is really what is meant by "detachment parenting," though! It's so hard to find the balance between helping the difficult child and letting the difficult child learn responsibility; to see the difficult child suffer and also to suffer from the difficult child's behaviors. I look forward to seeing the feedback you get from the experts here. I, too, need to be here. You have my sympathy and best wishes! [/QUOTE]
