[quote=Anonymous]I know you have tried rewarding positive behavior but have you tried it so that the goal is always attainable? This is the reward system that works best for DS because he is a perfectionist and freaks out if he does not earn 110% and does not get the reward. You start off so that any positive behavior is rewarded and then slowly raise the goal posts, slowly enough so that he is able to meet it. Success feeds on success. Then after the behaviors are manageable, you put in things like more risk taking and that it is not the end of the world if you don't always get 100%. But I understand where you are coming from bc I was like your son as a child and have ADHD. I grew out of the constant tantrums around 6/7 grade. I look back on it and feel sorry for my parents and especially sibs but we have a very close loving relationship now. Hang in there![/quote]
