[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 372939, member: 1233"] Has manster gone this far with-o any treatment for this? Is he upset by it, or teased for it? If he is not willing to work at the problem, then maybe it isn't a problem for him. You already have a LOT of battles with him and he is bothered by a LOT of things. If he does not notice this, or notice teasing about it, then I would let it go and NOT NOT NOT push the issue. It may be that if you push this then he starts to think that others are making fun of him behind his back because it when they are not, just the way he thinks others are gloating over winning or whatever. He is already dealing with enough with-o worrying about that too, isn't he? With an already strained budget, and having to pay for this yourself, pushing him to do the lessons and then having to fight him to practice will set up unneeded stress and resentment for YOU to feel. in my opinion it will put more strain on your relationship with him, and on the entire household. If it doesn't bug him then let it go and pick a different battle. When it bugs him and is something he is not just willing but actually is EAGER to work on, then you set up the therapy. Until then it is just a waste of your time and energy. (I had an AP english teacher who used this method with us - we studied how to write until we were EAGER to write essays. It worked fabulously - everyone was done early and worked hard on editing, critiquing and rewriting their work. Other English teachers had to fight to get even a rough draft done on time by an entire class, even in AP classes. I think it is a very worthwhile method especially when applied to difficult children and things like this! - At least half of our AP class was difficult child, by the way.) I hope this helps!
