[quote=Anonymous]As for “not writing his fate,” on the one hand, you do know your child best. One the other hand, so much changes from age 12. The kid I knew who never, ever did her math homework is now an attending physician. My sister works with children with autism who often start out with a profound lack of basic skills when they enter her care. Many learn to become much more self sufficient. I taught a child with severe academic, social-emotional, and learning issues who no other children wanted to work with. His behavior at school was so out-of-bounds it merited expulsion. But he’s in college now. While you may not hope for radical shifts in personality, I hope you will also be open to the potential for some positive change. Your attitude will affect your relationship with your child. It’s ok to have low points and “be real” with strangers, but I do sincerely hope things turn around for you.[/quote]
