He was doing a little better in the summer program, but once school started, it all went downhill. He's in trouble almost every day, in the office most days of the week, and sometimes in-school suspension. He's had maybe one good day a week since school started.
The school doesn't want to keep taking priveleges away because he'll just have nothing left and keep hating himself more and more. Their idea is that they should focus heavily on the positive and that rewards are supposed to work better than taking stuff away. The principal is concerned at how his self esteem is so low that after he does this stuff he wishes he was dead, etc. When he's in the office afterwards, he often ends up smacking himself and saying over and over how stupid he is for doing those things, he hates himself, wants to die, etc. He knows not to do the things he does and that's what the problem is. It's impulse control. Personally, I'm about to send him to boot camp.
Purchased on ebay and finally got the set today. So this week will be a Star Wars marathon!
And I had all the character pins they gave out with the Funmeal at Burger Chef!
