[QUOTE="Steely, post: 63944, member: 3301"] So sorry things are so rough right now.........man, I know how hard that is. Just wondering a few things.....where are you with school? Is he in Special Education, where the rewards system will be equivalent to what he had this summer? Or was this a special non-school program? If the school year will not be a motivation, then do you have a therapist that could work with you on making a reward program at home? The incentives do not need to cost money, and in my opinion, they shouldn't. in my opinion, they should be things like extra tv time, an extra 30 minutes tacked onto bedtime, extra game time, special time with Daddy, a trip for an ice cream - just things that he really likes that he can get extra of for good behavior. Also, what about medications? If he is having this hard of time managing his anger, than I would talk to psychiatrist about a medication change. You gotta feel for the lil guy, it must be really, really hard to keep all of his emotions sucked in to get those rewards - and now - without those checks in place - he is just letting it all blow. And, I definitely feel for you, I know how it is to deal with that hostility day in and day out. In fact, I am STILL dealing with an angry child - but once again, we changed medications and he is once again, doing better. You just never know what latest tweek or behavior mod is going to make the difference, so you just have to adjust and adjust. Sending best wishes your way. [/QUOTE]
