[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 104204, member: 439"] give your son a hug from me... We went through this with NL. Part of his problem WAS the other kids at school. We finally made the choice of sending him to another school, and it was the best thing we could have done. Continue to find things such as scouts that he can excel in. Does he have any interest in karate or such? Many of the better dojos also teach self respect as well as technique. Perhaps the particular instrument he's attempting in band isn't for him - but there may be a different one he can master. He's getting to the age where he can start volunteering, and scouts usually is a great avenue for that. Find something that interests him - NL has volunteered every summer at our local zoo since he was 12 years old. He also volunteered at our local vet and has now turned that into a part time, paying job. The thing is not to "praise" him for everything - kids see right through that. But to give him opportunities to do things that really ARE worthy of praise. [/QUOTE]
