[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 331080, member: 2322"] Marg and others have given you great advice. I had a kid who would start breaking pencils and throwing books when he had to do homework in first grade. He hated school. I did not appreciate really his learning challenges back then. When we gave up on homework things got much better. It just was not worth the struggle. i would only underline that to punish him for what he is not able to control is probably not helping. I would worry less about whether you are inappropriately rewarding him. This is a kid with some serious challenges and it probably doesn't make him feel any better about himself to be punished. Also maintaining a positive relationship with your child is key. Make sure that if school is terrible that you do your best to have some quality time. I think the school lacks a real plan for dealing with him. They need to draw on some real expertise. Please please don't let them simply go with a behavioral strategy. I am sure that if your son could control his anger he would. I hope the school can create a more nuturing environment for him. [/QUOTE]
