I tutor a boy in high school, 9th grade, 14 yrs. He was adopted, brought up in a moderately religious family, and has ADHD. He keeps getting suspended. I told the mother he does it for attention. I told her that when he works with me she should read the papers and oogle and ahhh over them. I told her when he gets negative attention, it's attention, and that equals love to a child. She says he's a hard kid, and he drives her nuts...and other neg. things. I said if she's believes he's "messed up" he's gonna continue to be.
I'm 25 years old. I'm so young! I wanna make sure I'm doing the right thing with this boy......I care VERY MUCH what happens I don't want him to keep getting into trouble...and I don't want his mother thinking he's messed up! He's a GREAT kid...just confused and alone in his world!
If you disagree with what I said, PLEASE tell me! I believe this boy needs LOTS of positive attention.....I think that's the key!
Thanks in advance for all your help!
Love, Ruchie
