[QUOTE="kelly5494, post: 301414, member: 7903"] I will definately try that route. I have another neurologist appointment on Sept 10. This guy is impossible to reach and I have to make appointments two weeks out. In the mean time his teacher has resorted to sending his homework home so that he can try and complete it one his own terms with me or dad. It took me over an hour last night to get him to cut out a few simple shapes because he said he is afraid that it will be hard for him. He said homework makes him feel funny inside and he is afraid he can't do it. I am still dumbfounded by the fact that it is something I have seen him do so many times before. I don't know why all of the sudden there is this fear (maybe shame?) surrounding these simple tasks? I keep trying to encourage him and be really positive but it isn't working. Dad and I even tried cheering when he did manage to cut one of them out telling him what a wonderful job he had done but all that did is make him run in the corner and cry??? It is as if the positive reinforcement isn't what he wants to hear, like he wants to be told he is doing as badley as he feels he is doing??? [/QUOTE]
