[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 758187, member: 13260"] Has your boy been diagnosed with ADHD or anything else? He sounds so much like two of my grandsons. One has straight up ADHD and the other one had the severe anxiety piece. You could be describing exactly my seven year old grandson around any requests for the least amount of school work right now. He did fine before school shut down and his mom is a kindergarten teacher, so she's very experienced. I wonder if your son is experiencing anxiety? That was a huge issue for both my grandsons (I'm raising the one, who is 14 now and he's thankfully grown out of it, but it was baaaaaad). You may want to have a look at Doug Riley's books, The Explosive Child. The techniques in that book may not all fit your situation, but it was a good book for us to get started on understanding what happens and why and how to communicate better, pre-load expectations, and the big take away for us was "If they could do better, they would." Seeing my grandson has having underdeveloped coping skills was a better starting place for us in figuring out what to do next. Ross Greene's books are good, too. If you have a Kindle or nook e-reader, you can get them this way, or Amazon books has so many amazing books for parents and kids. I know this struggle; many of here do. I get the exhaustion, and later, the calls from the school. And after the meltdowns (waaaay beyond tantrums), they seem fine and the family was left feeling like we had been in a train wreck. It's hard, momma. [/QUOTE]
