[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462872, member: 11791"] You wondered if he's "pulling out all the stops" at school... my guess is, most likely that is true. Kids really do want to do well, and will do their best if there is any hope of coming close. Obviously, J is having reasonable success at school. But... if it takes him significantly more "effort", then by the time he gets home he may not have enough left to behave well there too... even if the problems are happening before school and not just after school, because he may be subconsiously reserving his "energy" for school.I'm not talking physical energy. Rather... that part of the brain that handles executive functions, plus working memory, plus motor skills if applicable. Maybe add in some auditory stuff - there's a chance of that kicking around, too. I think you're on the right track with things like tennis - here it would be swimming, soccer, baseball... but whatever activity he can enjoy, do reasonably well at (i.e. fit in with the group), and handle without burn-out side-effects, will help bring the physical energy level more in line with the mental energy level. Helps with sleep, appetite, and so on.I think you're doing rather well at this game, Malika. You already know that Conners is available for use in another year or two. By that point, other issues will also be coming out of the woodwork if they are there at all. [/QUOTE]
