[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 413701, member: 6546"] Hello-- Welcome to our group! You say the problems began escalating about 6 months ago...does that coincide with the start of the new school year? Sometimes, a child who is a bit "slower" - perhaps Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Learning Disability of some kind - does well in school up until they reach 5th, 6th, 7th grade when the expectations are suddenly much higher and children are expected to be more responsible for their own note-taking and organization (such as jotting down homework assignments and bringing all needed supplies home to complete the work). At that point - it appears that the child is "suddenly" out of control....when the reality is, their daily struggles have just been easier to hide until this point. Now, they are struggling and acting-out due to their frustration with the whole classroom system. It might be wise to look into whether there are any issues affecting his learning abilities. If you can find and help create solutions for the underlying problems, you may see less acting-out. [/QUOTE]
