Thank you, PP.  Your last point is interesting - it seems to us that DS has the opposite problem re mindset.  He blames everyone but himself and won't own up to any sort of responsibility for his actions.  It's always our fault, not his.

The other interesting issue (and why we're concerned) is that our reminders indeed start out calm and pleasant but DS escalates everything into yelling and screaming.  I, for one, try to walk away but that doesn't help.  He'll follow us around and just won't relent.

Glad to know that we're not alone in dealing with this.[/quote]

My son was similar in 6th grade.  By some miracle this year in 7th he is understanding better that his effort now puts him on a path towards college.  Last year there was no understanding or interest in the purpose of school work.  The Kazdin Method is an excellent book for behavior problems with very clear info on reward systems and how to trouble shoot them.  There is clearly a lot of anxiety around school that your son has but this is a behavior problem overall.    [/quote]
