[QUOTE="Andy, post: 385662, member: 5096"] Thank you! I think he feels it is the right thing to not show up to this one. I have to take him to school on Monday to deliver medications and poweraide to the nurses office. I may just let him skip Sunday School tomorrow to avoid this kid (I will let Pastor know why since he is in confirmation with J and is suppose to go to Sunday School). Or he can come to my class again. I guess I still have mixed feelings on this one. Most of me is saying that it is just talk for the time being but a part of me thinks, "What if they do go through with it?" Best to nip it in the butt before either of them gets the confidence to actually follow through. If difficult child really wanted to do this, I doubt he would have told me about it. On an hour car trip yesterday, I gave him a full two sheet report that I intend on sharing with therapist. It explains a few incidents (I will add a third page for this one) and asks for help in teaching difficult child to control his anger and learn how to deal with people who are annoying. I fully expected difficult child to blow up on me but he read it through and looked at the form that I want therapist to help him with. When done he set it down with no reactions. I asked if it was o.k. and he indicated "yes". The journalling is not working. He is overwhelmed with the instructions of "Who, what, where, when, why". I think like most people if he just starts to write it will come but for now, thinking about all those things are overwhelming. So, I want to go to a "I feel ............ because..........." and allow him to write whatever with no thought of details to remember who, what, where, when, why. The challenge is that the list I found on the computer is geared toward 9th - 12th grades and he does not understand some of the words. I am asking therapist to help go through the words and decide which ones to keep on a list (maybe changing to a word that makes more sense)? I have one sheet completed already. One night he was angry so I handed him a form. He scuffed at it and threw it down. We then went into a store and when we got back to the van, he picked up the sheet and started writing. This form had only the angry words on it. I want him to journal every night so found a longer form with other words to cover the range of feelings. [/QUOTE]
