My nephew has had his access to the computer removed this weekend. After giving him three terms last year to get this behaviour at school under control we decided to use this 'stick' to assist him further. If he gets a detention, he loses the computer.

My psych has given me the name of a child psychologist she thinks is excellent. I am going to make an appointment to see her asap.
Happy to report the vomit has stopped!
