DS8, a prolific doodler whose doodles are also very charming, was forbidden to doodle on his work this year. (Note--he is a straight A student with zero discipline problems.) I rarely go to the mat about anything, but I did for this. DS was very emotional about his need to doodle, saying that it keeps him occupied when he has to wait and that it keeps him from doing things he isn't supposed to do. Note...DS attends a gifted magnet!! (I won this battle.)
