[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 33521, member: 84"] This somewhat reminds me of T around this age. First thing, his computer would be gone, locked up where he can't possibly get to it. Nope, sorry son if you can't do your schoolwork and can't be repectful of my person you don't get to use a computer. No if, ands, or buts about it. Second thing, get him back into the public system as fast as you can. Homeschooling is NOT working. Plus I'm sure the break would be welcome. IEP's and such can be put into place in public school and they can deal with school issues. Third thing, difficult child hits you, call the cops. You don't have to take his physical abuse just because he's your kid. You may want to consider a new evaluation with a neuropsychologist. You may want to think about hospitalization to try to get him more stable and get a working treatment plan into place. Sounds like the computer might be the key to reaching your son. It certainly was for mine. It was his "carrot" for getting him to willingly comply both at home and school. I discovered our sd had a tech school that provided A+ computer certification courses. T was thrilled. We didn't know it would work. Heck I didn't think he'd last a month. But it wound up being the best thing we ever did for the boy. He entered the tech school at 16 all but failing, he graduated 2 yrs later on the honor roll and trained for a career in something he loved to do. Tech school also used the computer as a carrot. Don't keep up with acedemics, don't get to stay in your computer classes. Plus the class sizes were small, teachers were geared to help their students succeed and bent over backward to make it happen. Nice to meet a fellow Ecot parent. N is homeschooled thru Ecot. For her homeschool was the answer. by the way, I've decided that at 15 all kids turn into monsters. lmao Even pcs do. [/QUOTE]
