[QUOTE="klmno, post: 348246, member: 3699"] Ok- I think I'm getting a better understanding of it. I was always agreeable with difficult child having a mentor- I just thought it would either be one that focused more on a role model who did more fun things with him and things he needed help with- like homework if he needed it- or one who could help more with therapuetic stuff instead of just ordering that we go do it. But this still could be helpful, at least it doesn't appear to be counter-productive. It still seems to make sense to give them the things difficult child have been discussing lately because if we give them a different list, we'll be stuck trying to figure out how to do both. I'll have to tell difficult child to be thinking of some free stuff he likes to do- he isn't into team sports but he used to like to pass football. He's gotten into reading at Department of Juvenile Justice- that could be a trip to the library and a good discussion if they will go as far as letting difficult child tell them about the book. I think they use that sort of thing as a reward. [/QUOTE]
