[QUOTE="JLady, post: 258132, member: 6439"] I have been a youth leader for over 15 years. I cannot count the number of "difficult" kids I have worked with over the years. The boys group was cleaning tonight as a form of punishment for some undesireable behaviors last week. It was to teach them a lesson. difficult child kept saying he didn't want to clean. When told it was for the bad behavior last week difficult child said he wasn't bad. DUH! difficult child cannot understand the consequence of something from a week ago. Can he? I don't expect him to get that. I'm just so upset. I have been reading and reading and trying to understand. I'm just sitting here with the tears rolling down my face. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to help my son. This isn't a "sensitive issue" (as the minister put it). This is our life! This is the life of a little boy and he is basically saying he isn't worth the effort! That is unacceptable in my opinion. I'm emotional and perhaps I am over reacting. I'm soooooooo upset. [/QUOTE]
