I'll try to keep this brief. Basically my 10yo son missed out on a special yr5 award at the end of the year (all children in the class apply for it) but despite doing the tasks required for it such as charity work etc, he wasn't given it due to underlying behaviour. I feel disappointed for him as he was expecting this year it. He has suspected ADHD but a Cahms referral got nowhere. My question is, has anybody managed to positively transform their child's behaviour? I'm a teacher myself and I know I need to establish a positive relationship with the teachers at the start of the year, frequent communication etc. However, does anyone have strategies for at home that helped? My DH and I try to be good parents, role modelling good behaviour, consequences where necessary i.e. removal of internet but his behaviour can be a big challenge. Homework is a nightmare. Reading is also a nightmare because he refuses.
Any tips from a parenting view would be appreciated. I do worry about him and secondary school.
