- E asked: My son is a junior this year and in a public school. He attended private schools from th to th grade and International School for th and th grade. He was always a very good student and cared about his grades and always did his best at school, until the second semester of th grade,,he just stopped doing his work and hardly studied...and then from there it just got worse. He told me he is tired and burned out from school and cannot wait to be done, and that he does not care anymore and I can see he hardly studies for tests and his grades are really bad. I am afraid that he might not even pass this year, and feel the more I ask him to please study a little more...the more he seems not to care. In the beginning of his th grade year he had all these dreams what he wants to study after HS, and now he does not care at all and has no plans for the future. I asked him to stay after school for tutoring and he just tells me that he does not need it, so I guess the problem is that he just don't study for tests. I think it is very sad, because I know he can do much better. I just do not know why he changed his mind and decided not to work anymore and don't care at all. Why is it that he always had excellent grades and cared so much, and now nothing matters anymore? What can I as a parent do to help? I feel he does not even listen to me anymore. I feel very concerned, especially being a junior this year, it is so important to get good grades. Please help.
- asked: what are the content of the seminar?
- G asked: I have a year old son with epilepsy, PDD NOS, sensory integration dysfunction, OCD, Tourettes, bipolar (R/ O paranoid schizo-affective disorder), etc. He also has RAD symptoms now since many hospitalizations etc. He is in a : educational setting without other children his own age. He shuts down and sleeps as a coping machanism in school. They withhold meals, make him stand all day, physically restrain him, etc and it only escalates him more. Any ideas you may have would be great. I feel the teacher's approach or the environment there is a trigger for him as I do not get that response at home. Please advise. Thanks.
