[QUOTE="klmno, post: 223078, member: 3699"] I can offer what helped immensely last year but hasn't helped this year with my difficult child- I discussed things with several at school who I thought at least half-way understood my son's issues. Several teachers, staff, etc., then discreetly started trying to "reach out" to difficult child and show interest, make small talk, just greet him and smile more often, etc. Then difficult child kind of picked out a couple of people that he really liked and started becoming more interested in going to school, getting work done, going in clean with hair combed, etc. One was his math teacher- she would go to his room during resource and discreetly ask him if he wanted to come to her room during that class that day and go over some work he'd missed or work on his homework. This way, she could see what he needed help on, he wouldn't get embaressed and she bragged on how smart he was a lot. Are you sure that his lack of energy at school isn't indicative of some depression going on? [/QUOTE]
