[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside time after school should be required, not optional. Also, no computer games. He's not really to decide these things for himself. Look for professionals who will support your consistancy here.[/quote]

For a suicidal kid with ADD, video games should not be cut off.  They give him a moment of fun and success.  Please don't listen to this person to cut him off from what he enjoys.[/quote]

OP again - thanks and no worries, I assumed that PP had never seen a Minecraft build. :-)  [/quote]

I agree.  Don't cut him off from the video games and leave the outside school time optional, for now.  I suspect that the encopresis is what is making him want to stay at home -- he is afraid of being embarrassed.  I would make sure you treat that with a doctor, then slowly encourage him to do outside activites when he wants to do them.  That is good that you have gone ahead with helping him with the other issues.  I read your thread earlier today, and it stuck with me.  Hang in there.[/quote]
