[QUOTE="klmno, post: 112031, member: 3699"] I second Star and everyone else- my difficult child had to do community service for school (rules were lenient and I didn't really think he should have gotten it to begin with). Anyway, community service is not a bad thing for anyone. We explored picking up garbage from a park, helping a family do yardwork who had health problems (yours is too young for this), and he planted seeds in small pots, labeled them (there were 10 different kinds), watered and took them out for sun until they sprouted and delivered them to two assisted living compelxes today. The most rewarding thing was seeing the elderly (mostly alzheimers (sp)) smiles and the activities director seemed so happy and wanted his address to send a "thank you" card, even though I told her he had to do this community service. difficult child has been in scouts and done this sort of thing before, but he still seemed proud.
