[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 359785, member: 805"] First, take a deep breath..... Going to try and address your post in order - we totally understand the love/hate relationship! Puberty and spring seem to be some of the toughest times, especially for male difficult children. Ok, question - if the Concerta is not working, why is he still taking it? Could his increased moodiness or agitation be contributed to the Concerta? Stims are all different so perhaps another one should be tried or it's time for a re-evaluation. I can't address the Tenex issue but I'm sure there are some other members who can give you some answers on that one. Finally, you know I don't have to tell you that you are setting him up for future failure by doing his homework for him do I? The only way these kids are going to learn is by natural consequences. Does your son have an IEP? If so, you should be calling a meeting or speaking to the teachers to let them know that you are not going to fight the homework fight at your home - it's too detrimental to the stability of your home life. Many parents here have gotten homework modifications in their difficult child's IEP. If he doesn't have an IEP, it sounds like it's time to get the ball rolling. Start the process by going over to our Special Education forum.... Pink, there are two things we tell most of our new members. 1.) Have you read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? It's like our bible around here - worth purchasing (through the Amazon link on our site) or check it out at your local library. 2.) Sorry you had to find your way here, but glad you did!
