Can you ask the school if they recommend a certain agency that has worked well with their student body? Do you have private insurance? Are you eligible for therapy through insurance?
As an aside, when you are consistent with your parenting method, you get to know what makes your child tick. You know what works and can give clear pointers to the school so they can be on the same page as you. |
Thanks.
I'm in brooklyn. I guess I'll have to find someone in the school that would know how to help me.
My insurance won't cover therapy unless it's for a medical reason.

No advice op, sorry, but sending empathy, the whole world seems to be full of kids like this nowadays (or maybe it's just MY world)
And seeker I love what you wrote on this thread.

If he is performing academically well the board of ed might not be helpful, but you can defenitely start with that. Its a super simple procedure. Just ask the school how to get the ball rolling. You need to speak to the board of ed in your schools district. However they wouldnt diagnose ADD. You need a private eval for that.

But I can't ignore bad behavior or look away when he's doing something he shouldn't be doing. What do I do then? |
There's some really great parenting classes that can teach the benefits of not having any punishments and the alternative solutions.
I have A son like this and am working hard to go against my nature to understand this concept and make a loving relationship between us the motivating factor in his behaviors.
Look at website aha parenting for now
There's also tiredofyelling Aviva Schwab. Most affordable but not sure if it explains the philosophy.
I m writing now with little time I will try to add resources later but please please consider opening up to a different approach.
