Frustrated - just had my message deleted as spam!

So, a brief version.

Try setting online reminders that have to be ticked off when completed?

Thanks Janet and Simon

Still struggling to get my son up in a morning and do any work on-line. But I spoke on the phone with the 'team leader' who is there for assistance and he told me not to worry to much at this stage as it is nearly the end.of our second term here. He said he will arrange for my son to go into the centre at the beginning of next term and meet all his teachers and do some work with them to get to know them and then they'll call him on the phone sometimes and he will know who he is talking to. He said that all the individual teachers will be trying to make sure he is on track.

So basically I guess I just hope for a routine to start to develop, self discipline to start at least showing itself and will power to start kicking in. All excellent skills for later in life if he can master them at this stage. I realise now how much th anxiety has formed a way of life for my son and how easy it is for him to avoid so many things.
This is a big learning curve for me too as I have to learn to get on with my own work and stop worrying about whether he is ever getting out of bed! Otherwise I'll go crazy! We seem to fall out every day... So whilst the relief of not having to try and force him to school has gone and I don't have to live with the awful guilt when he missed so much school, I still seem to have a battle on my hands.

And yes, Simon, I do believe the seasons make a difference and as it is winter here, getting out of bed is not the easiest for any of us but harder still if you have no self discipline. I also have found in the past that during the winter months my son has a tendency to fall onto a depression easily.

I feel that this will start to move forward. The teachers seem so supportive - something I am not used to. The one on one attention is excellent.
I'll treat th rest of this term as a transition and step back and see what happens...
Take care
Linda
