[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are going through this now with my 9th grader. I also think the 1 mental health day a month is good, if it works. Mine gets in moods and won’t care about anything or any consequences. Taking away things and punishment hasn’t been effective. We have been in regular contact with his school guidance counselor and found a therapist he actually likes, who he sometimes will talk to or see on the bad days. He’s not doing all of his work but has been doing enough to pass. His teachers have been flexible and given him so many deadlines and retake chances that he doesn’t take. They have all been supportive and at this point, we are hoping he turns in enough to earn credit in at least the content classes. His therapist has really been helpful for us to also manage our expectations and take things day by day. [/quote] My DS was like this too. The only thing that helped us turn the corner was meds for anxiety and depression.[/quote]
