[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 372925, member: 8617"] You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. That goes for any kind of therapy, grades at school or even vegetables on a dinner plate. Sometimes difficult child's turn our best efforts and intentions into wasted energy. It hoovers but what can you do? All you can do is offer the best tools and resources at your disposal which it sounds like you are doing. Maybe Manster will change his mind as he gets closer to wanting to impress the opposite sex? One sideways comment from a random girl a couple years from now could be his tipping point. Then if he decides to work on it you know your money will be well spent. 11 is verging on a "fun" age where you may have a lot of upcoming battles to choose between. Pace yourself. : ) [/QUOTE]
