[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 87588, member: 1233"] I agree that it may be time to have him reevaluated. This is just necessary because children grow and change. Remember how often they need shoes? Sometimes it seems like they need a new size every month? Their brains and bodies are developing ALL OVER like that. A new evaluation is like measuring feet for shoes,in my opinion, though the new evaluation is considerably more of a PITA. As for the homework on the laptop, he may need internet access and a computer, but I am more than willing to guess that not all of the other kids have laptops. He can use a computer in a centrally located area where you can offer help and support to his studies. One way to offer this help and support is to redirect him if he is caught on porn sites!!! Are you sure that he cannot do some of this at school on their computers? I know my son wants us to believe that his "own" computer is as necessary as air, and that "ALL the other kids have one" but he used these same arguments for a gameboy and even for a dinosaur he could take apart when he was younger. Porn is not that unusual for a teen to seek out. It is not healthy, and you need to step in, but it is not unusual for curiosity to rule with the hormones. Heck, my now 40yo bro stole some porn from a neighbor when he was about 13, And in my locker room in 7th grade (age 12) a girl had a playboy. Porn is just yucky and you need to assert the house rules. But hte curiosity also needs to be addressed in an age appropriate way. Why do you care if he knows how you found hte porn? He is 13, it is your job to spy on him. The laptop needs to be locked up when he is not being supervised on it. I wholeheartedly agree with this. and, if it continues to be a problem, you can talk to the teachers to ahve them provide hard copy of hte info online that he is supposed to access. This can be done, though it make take some discussion. Have a good night! Susie [/QUOTE]
