[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three referrals in 4+ months doesn’t seem that bad … I honestly would just let her have the natural consequences. The only thing I would object to is missing class time, but lunch or after school detention seems fine. Increasing meds seems like overkill. [/quote]

Really? I'd be in full swing trying to get back on track. It's pretty bad before you get a referral. Imagine how much the kid is affecting the classroom and other kids. [/quote]

BTDT. To get “back on track” requires the school to engage in effective behavior modification which schools basically never do. And really, talking a lot in one class once a month is not a catastrophe. She can take the detention and learn there are consequences. [/quote]

Disagree. This is back on you (the parent) to figure out. What even is effective behavior modification for a 15 year old? The only thing she'll learn is that no one is upset if she gets a detention so it's no big deal. Basically no consequence. If OP wants a change, they need to freak out a little. If for no other reason than the kid sees this is not ok. [/quote]

OP is not in the school. The school has to implement any behavioral modification, and indeed the school is doing that through giving detention. And as much as you want to freak out, three detentions in four months is not horrible. Sure OP can add a consequence at home but that’s unlikely to be effective. [/quote]
