I mistakenly got in trouble a lot when I was a kid too, Dragon. I moved a lot, and from culture to culture, I never really learned the rules. I would have been a lot happier if someone had stopped punishing me long enough to explain the rules. I hope your son knows that he's getting a chance to keep himself clean, and become accepted. Not everyone is lucky enough to get that chance. I'm sure your son and daughter are very bright. I'm sure they have a great future. I'm sure you have a LOT to teach them. If you can train them to be as adept socially as they are in their play and academics, they will have a wonderful time anywhere they go, with whomever they meet. Perhaps these boards will be good for them. I know there are a lot of role models out there.
*tips his hat to those members, whether they know they are role models or not*
