My son has started secondary school and all through primary school he daydreamed, needed one to one to get him to produce any work and can't follow instructions without lots of help. He started secondary school well enough but has soon slid into being totally disengaged, disorganised and producing very little work. He can be distracted by his own heart beat. He has no learning difficulty as he has had numerous assessments. I feel useless at getting him motivated, he seems to think that he's good at IT so he doesn't need to bother with anything else. I'm frustrated, sick of nagging him and sick of school meetings telling me he isn't working etc. Anyone else with a similar set of characteristics in their child? What approaches improve it?
