Thanks guys you are sooo helpful . I wrote down everything I need to know and do. Tomorrow I am going to call our insurance and find a psychiatrist who accepts it and get going on this. You all bring up so many things I would not think of. This is all so new to me since with my older son I did not have to worry about these things-he just went to school. I bought a 3 ring binder and put everything regarding Sean and school in it. Thanks again!!

This is me today. Had to have an impromptu meeting with Sean and his teacher about him pushing, and actually hurting, another child today. The next time he touches another child he will be sent to the principal's office. Right now I have sent him to his room with no TV or video games because honestly I can't even look at him.

What was his reaction? Did he get upset at the meeting? Did he get upset when you put him in his room? Has he said he is sorry?

Well he told the child he was sorry after the teacher spoke to him in class therefore he thinks it's ok. He is always "sorry". During the meeting he seemed upset,hung his head etc... but once we got home and he spent about 5 minutes in his room he thought he should have his privileges back. But I told him that when he wants those things he can instead think about how he hurt someone and WHY he is being punished.

Good idea. I've done the same thing with my kids, reminding them to think about why they were grounded to their rooms. It does work sometimes.

Sometimes it also helps to remind him of future positive functions that he could stand a chance to loose if his behavior does not change. Going to the movies, grandmas, Santa, the Easter Bunny, ect, ect I have found when they really really want something like chucky cheese or the park, they feel anguish about loosing the priveledge. Sometimes that is enough for them to learn the lesson. Only Sometimes Then you also have to be firm and not cave thats harder for me then it is for jake. I hate being the meanie but it is part of the job of being a mom sometimes I tend to think of it as getting them below the belt this might be a great example for the teacher to try sending a note home everyday. I hope you tried getting her to waiver on her decision about the note for good behavior. Good Luck
