Are there any samples of others you can show him that were not good? \nYou know like a long time ago to get kids not to smoke, they would take them to a hospital and show them people on lung support systems. Some had holes in their throats to be able to breathe and they would still want a cigarette because they were addicts.

http://www.autismtoilettraining.com \nI have not looked at the site myself, but it came up on an ad for something else I was looking at, hopefully it will help! I had my autistic son completely out of diapers by the time he was 27 months old, but your situation is more normal with autism. It just happened that Tim was oversensitive to sensory input, so he HATED wearing wet underwear. I don't know how much of this will apply to you, but I'll tell you what I did anyway. Everyone on here that said to be really consistent with a reward system is right on target, that's about the only way to get through an autistic brain, and the sillier you are, the better! Find a treat that he really likes and by a bag, and only use it for potty training, no other time. Skittles was what we used. He got three skittles for sitting on the toilet and I spaced them out so that he was sitting for about five minutes. NO pullups or diapers during the day at home, only underwear, and I ran water in the sink while he was sitting. If he actually did something, he got another skittle, and we made a huge deal out of it! Then, he got one sticker put on a chart for sitting and one for going. If he doesn't go,then he still gets SOMETHING just for cooperating with you. I took him as soon as he woke up and every hour after that, and I asked him all through the day if he had to go. That's all you can really do, unless the link I sent you to has other ideas. Hope this helps! I do my own therapy with him, he's never seen a professional, and he is doing WONDERFULLY. I will be homeschooling him, and we're officially starting pre-school next month. We spent last year just working out behavior problems so that we could focus on academics this year. Contact me if you just need to vent!

Be nice to him and give him a reward if he listens to you. That's what my mom did to me and it worked!

i feel for ya! my daughter was giving me the attitude about having to work 65 hours per week at mc donalds! think this over carefully....if you have the rebel busted, you both lose....do what i did AND PUT THE KID TO WORK!!!! since he's so interested in girls, be sure to get him a job at the nursing home giving sponge baths to the old biddies. and do like i did...MAKE THE KID WALK! trust me, after putting in a 12 hour day giving sponge baths and emptying bed pans, the kid will never look at another girl again!

Try stripping or showing him the goods

Try being a little bit more strict, not to the point of being harsh though. Just let them know that you are their teacher, and they need to stay on task. Also be consistent with your punishings. For instance, if one week you punish a lot of children for talking, and the next week you slack off a little bit, then they may get the idea that its okay to talk whenever they want to. Hope this helps. =)

Ask a thoughtful question about what he/she is trying to teach.  It will make his/her day!

As a former teacher trainer in Asia,\n\nGotta set up a routine for you lesson. Let's say you have young ones, start with a song/chant, and then into your "grammar/language" lesson (the crappy books they give you to follow). Seatwork (appropriate for the level). Then end it off with a story. You can ask simple questions for the story, "Find something red. What page was the boy eating the ice cream?" Always good to add a few language games into your lesson. One simple game is for two students with swatters to hit the correct vocab card. Plain, but better than repeating the words. You can make up a whole bunch of language games. Try bingo, but with pics of vocab. Play Simon Says.\n\nI find when I was teachign ESL, my greatest problem and my teachers' greatest problem was the lack of resources. Here is a site: http://www.readinga-z.com/\n\nBuy a $50 yearly member ship and download the books. Get your school to pay for you. This will provide you with 100s of reading activities for ALL levels!

check this out.\nhttp://www.epilepsynse.org.uk/pages/info/leaflets/factssgy.cfm\n\nNot only is it possible, instruction is available. \nCool. Maybe you could reprogram him to give you a raise and salute you when you come to work.

Ask your teacher if your school offers tutoring.  If not, I would contact an organization such as Sylvan Learning Centers.  Their advertisements promise your money back if your results do not improve.  Also remember, practice makes perfect :)

My kids and I picked up something similar called eyeQ and it has lots of eye excersises to improve vision and reading, I am now a semi speed reader but have always had good vision, my one daughter went up in english and no longer complains of her eyes hurting when she studies too much. This one I can vouch for. See if its similar.

you can have a game of like "guess the job" to say have one illustrate and the others guess.\n\nafter they get it right or give up tell them why that is a good job in pre-school terms

If you are intentionally trying to teach him information (like ABC's, sight words, and numbers)... make it a game... and keep your teaching "sessions" short and simple.  Don't worry if he isn't interested... he will learn when he goes to school... teachers have amazing ways to get them to learn without them even knowing it.

As a parent, you have to realize that the school can only do so much. Have you ever volunteered in your son's classroom? Why is is that your son is reading on a third grade level? Do you ever read with him on a consistent basis? If you did, then his reading skills would definitely improve. I have not trying to be harsh, I just want you to get the big picture. The schools can't do it all. This has to be a family effort. Would it make sense for you son to be in a third grade class because that is his reading level? Emotionally , it would be damaging to him.It would be better if you encourage your son to hit the books. Get him a tutor to help him in the areas that he is falling behind in. He might have learning disabilities. Have him assessed and then proceed accordingly. Don't focus on why he was passed on year after year. There is nothing you can do to change that. Instead, focus on your son and what is going to be his best game plan for getting back to grade level. Talk with his teacher. She will be able to give you ideas on what needs to be done at this point. I wish you all the best.

I learned many many years ago in Turnabouts.....a very popular trainer is the Optimist.....thousands out there, very active racing/sailing program.......maybe a bit small for two kids and an adult but great for two kids.....\n\nand there's ahuge difference between a 10 year old and a 16....a 16 year old will be bored to death by an Opti.....you'll have to get him/her a Laser or a 420......
