[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 131168, member: 2270"] Um.. are our kids twins?. lol Sorry, couldn't help myself, I thought for sure you were discribing my difficult child, Little B. She has a high IQ, but her grades don't show it due to lack of doing work and rushing through tests. I don't know if you have read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, but it does give some insight into our kids. It helped me to learn to pick my battles, and let the little stuff go. As for the consequence and rewards not working, ditto here. difficult child just doesn't care. Still struggling with this one myself. We did manage to get her grades up to c's or higher by offering her choir(she loves choir) only if she kept her grades up. We can still pull choir at any time if her grades slip. I am wondering about his social skills, and moods. Does he have social skills at his grade level, or below? Does he swing from one mood to another for no apparent reason? What medications is he taking, if any? Just wondering, because my difficult child was originally diagnosis'd ADHD/ODD, but we later found out it was not ODD at all, but instead mood disorder and Aspergers. Not that yours has these, but maybe there is something besides ADHD going on.(Just a thought, I am not dxing, I am not a Dr.) Has he had a full evaluation? If so how long ago? How long has it been since the school did an evaluation? I would look into having a new one done, and trying to get an IEP instead of the 504. There are more services and protections under an IEP. The schools evaluation will determine if he qualifies. Sorry for all the questions, but it will give us a better picture of your difficult child, and we can then offer better information. Hang in there. You are NOT alone. [/QUOTE]
