Yes, I think my son just needs to be prodded into doing something and then have him repeat it over and over until it is a habit.

I have been schooling my son through a Virtual Charter School here in PA and after working with him, I know that he gets everything but he just learns it differently than most kids. He wants to go back to public school so bad to be with the other kids so I am putting him back in on Jan. 12th. I hope that they will be able to understand him and how he learns with some help from me if they will let me.

Re: Attchment

Something that did me a lot of good was I used to stay with my grandma a lot, and every single time I wanted anything, food or whatever, she'd make me say 'please' and when I got it she'd make me say 'thank you'. At first she'd have to tell me what to say and have me repeat it, then later she'd ask me "now what do you say?" and I'd remember, and finally it just turned into habit for me.> My son is 9 now and I could not leave him until he was about 8 years old without him acting like a small child. After I left, everyone said that he was fine while I was gone. Now, I can leave him without one complaint.> > He also does not like to say please and thank you to anyone other than my husband and I and he doesn't want to hear I love you or get hugs from someone. About a month ago, the Dr. put him on Risperdol at night before bed and right after going on it he started to allow me to hug him and he would invent ways to hug me. He still doesn't like the words I love you though. I think it is the way it makes him feel inside, the emotions involved or something.> He also had touching issues, he said that it used to feel like it burnt his skin when someone touched him. Now I can touch him without him jumping at all.> He is also adopted and his mother did crack, alcohol and smoked while he was in the womb, up until 3 months before he was born. There has to be something too it.
