[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 180939"] I'm so glad that you had a month to yourself...but [I]YIKES[/I]...this return is no picnic!!!! :surprised1: I think re-entry from vacation is always very hard. This goes for adults, teens, kids, pets....you get my drift. How much harder it must be for a difficult child? Perhaps double time, right? You mentioned counseling. Is he going to therapy on-going? Can he get an appointment soon? I think it is a gooood idea to instigate logical consequences for inapprporiate behavior (swearing, for example), but perhaps go a little easy on him during this re-entry period. Sometimes I think we have to do a sort of "balance thing" with our kids. But whenever possible...it's probably best to be consistent, etc. I would consider establishing a routine for the rest of this summer. As part of this routine, I would make sure there is a fun outing for difficult child. I would also plan for some relaxation time for you so that your head doesn't explode before fall. :winking: p.s. When the dust settles, if you see that inroads have been made, I would sign him up for next year! LOL! (Hugs). [/QUOTE]
