2ppaamm, can you message me your email so i can pass to my brother and get my nephew (or brother) to contact you directly ? Thanks.

Snow crystal: Thanks for your kind words.

Mdm Koh: haha, I don’t disagree with you. My kids are still little and how they will turn out in future, I can’t foresee but I am a believer of tough love.

Mrs Seah: Honestly I don’t know if they are suitable or if my nephew would come up with funny suggestions (like quit study etc). My bro and SIL are just fire-fighting crisis over crisis to meet demands from my nephew.
Fully agree with you ‘It is easy to said he want home school and want to quit school and leave the rest of the thing for other to worry and plan for him.’

I really feel for the boy, I don't understand what he is going through but am sure he is very frustrated and angry to behave the way he is.
Hopefully you will be able to get some leads or at least advice on where to start etc.

2ppaamm's kids are lucky to have such a great mum who is so resourceful and determine to help her kids. Am sure it was a long, hard search/battle before she found her solutions. Most parents of such kids are clueless. I also understand that not all have the resources.
I really hope you get some leads soon on how to go about this. All the best and take care.

Bbee: Absolutely agree with you on this! It takes a lot of drive, commitment from the parents too. Its not easy on my brother and sil to handle a child who obviously outwit, outreason and outtalk both of them and highly sensitive. Actually I don't know where to start too but i will try to read up and hopefully dont ask silly questions myself. Haha.

There are no silly questions, Littlefly. If we don't ask, we will never know.
Your nephew is fortunate to have a great aunt who goes out of her way to find help for him. There's always a reason behind why kids are behaving the way they do. I hope some leads will come in soon, in whatever form, whether it's from this Forum or anywhere else.
