[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 527490, member: 11791"] Go read the books by Greene.... don't HAVE to get both... Lost in School is a teacher's perspective, The Explosive Child is a parent perspective... same bottom line. Key lesson fro those books? "[B]Kids do well if they can[/B]". NOT... Kids do well if they want to. Behavior... is the result of something. Laziness is... just a label, but a dangerous one, because... it's usually the result of other things. You can give a kid medications to reduce a fever... but if you don't deal with the cause of the fever it doesn't really do any good and may do harm. Trying to apply methods to change behavior... may be like treating the fever. What is the [I]underlying cause?[/I] (sorry if I sound a bit harsh... difficult child spent 10 years in school with the "lazy" label... the reality is, he's got 7+ dxes... most, received recently, and finally getting the right accommodations and interventions, and... they don't call him lazy any more!)
