[QUOTE="lizanne2, post: 301905, member: 7078"] Hello and welcome: glad you found us and hope that the advise thus far is helpful. The evaluation is really a great place to start. And the parent report is good for SO many reasons. Your son sounds so much like mine in so many ways. It was the very start of the 6th grade that everything hit rock bottom for him. It has been a crawl back but he is doing so much better now. As for the points system, rarely if ever worked for my son. One thing I did was 'choose my battles". The list of the 'never ever dos' and then the list of the 'we can't have thats' and the 'i'll get to that later". Intellectually my son got that he could never........ and the consequences were........ And for those few things I would discipline through the hours of tantrums. I believe the book The explosive child details this method that wokr for us, albeit slowly. Now, i give you much respect for doing this at home. My son went to a special needs preschool that helped me with some discipline techniques. And the other schools provided some structure and reinforcement that I really needed. One thing I regret is that I was nto as attentive to my other child. That is a tough balancing act. Hang in there! Let us know how things go! [/QUOTE]
