[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 509281, member: 11001"] Zardo, I'm glad the counselor finially believes the scientific data! I'm glad she referred him out-it wasn't working. The fit isn't always great. I still encourage you to help him stand up to people and problem solve. My daughter was a doormat. We did too much of what she could have done. People in power should not have the right to run pell mell over kids who are there (they often do esp. the young"20 somethings" as I call them). Unfortuneltly, when they are in these places they have to develop skills above their years because their parents are not right there. My daughter has amazed me lately in how she has stood up to her boss in very appropriate ways-far beyond what we ever hoped for. Standing back and reassuring her that we trusted her and that she could do it has worked. She is proud of herself. I did not get that this was not part of the school setting- I though it was all part of the program and if he was out of the SA part he would be out of school as well. Sounds like you have a good plan. I agree that you should not move him when he is doing pretty good at school. I think these moves are very hard on kids. I hope you are able to rest-I am sure this has been very stressful. I think the doctor pulling out is very strange. I would not want him dealing with my kid. This can't be the first time a kid has refused a medication and asked to try to be without it. His job should be to monitor how that goes. I think its ok for him to tell your son he doesn't agree, but your boy deserves a chance to try to be off medications. We have allowed our daughter to be off Celexa for sometime now.(Did not like it at first) I don't know that it made a huge difference in her emotions anyway. The difference is that she is happy to be done with it. [/QUOTE]
