[quote=Anonymous]Get the book The Kazdin Method and buy a copy for people who work with your son.  It explains in detail how to give positive reinforcement, including a DVD and explanation on how to praise with the effusiveness of a cheerleader; also how to NOT react to negative behaviors.  There are lists of common motivators by age.  My DS was like this too and started to turn it around around age 12 (but started doing it later too, so hopefully your DS will learn sooner).  I think some of it can be stress related as well so try to find ways to reduce stress or demands.  Show you have faith in your son.  We have a therapist who always tells our DS that he doesn't need to be perfect but to try his best to resist the temptation of doing things that will get him in trouble or upset someone.  Ask the teacher to give him frequent praise or rewards for class periods where he makes good choices and then reward him at home. Also talk about contructive ways to get attention, like doing well on school activities, being kind, etc.  [/quote]
