[quote=Anonymous]My DS is in 6th grade (ADHD/Inattentive and Anxiety) and I've been dealing with this for a long time.  Your DS's teacher needs to be more than just 'aware' of this.  The school team needs to take an active role in managing this situation across the environments.  What steps has the teacher taken to address it?  Has the school psychologist and counselor been involved?  They should be.

What has worked best with my DS is to meet with the school psychologist to discuss the issues, identify appropriate responses and improve his own 'self-control'.  Be prepared to be in it for the long haul because these techniques are easily learned but not easily implemented at the time they are needed.  The school psychologist can consult with your DS's therapist to make sure they're on the same page, using consistent terminology and reinforcing the same concepts.  The guidance counselor meets with DS and some other boys once a week or so for lunch - a lunch bunch.  The counselor would also periodically meet with the provoking student to check in what's going on with her/him.

Finally, your DS biting his nails and picking his skin may be an anxiety response to this situation or things in general.  You should keep an eye on it because it can be a difficult coping response to stop.  Hugs. [/quote]
