[QUOTE="Ehlena, post: 313635, member: 6097"] Thankfully, we live in a wonderful neighborhood, and the police here are very helpful and supportive. The police officer took him outside and talked to him for a bit. He gave difficult child his number and told him he could call if he felt like he needed to talk and couldn't talk to husband or I. He also let us know that difficult child has thoughts of hurting himself and of hurting husband. He recommended we bring it up with his counselor. I'll talk to husband about possibly putting ourselves in a time-out to avoid escalating the situation. But what do you do about your personal property? I'd worry about difficult child damaging our more expensive items, or taking them and hiding them as retribution (he's done this to his Grandpa). I don't [I]think[/I] he'd do anything to our pets, but I've been proven wrong before. We don't have a BIP in place, but his teachers have asked us how to deal with him, and we told them to separate him or send him to the office if he is becoming too much of a distraction. And praise praise praise if he does anything in the right direction. We are trying to devote more energy to difficult child when he is good than when he is bad. What would a Special Education setting entail? I don't really know how I'd go about addressing that. He's already had his schedule rearranged to put him into the smaller classes, but I don't know that they're small enough. I've talked to husband about him possibly needing an adjustment to his medications, but difficult child's medications are for his concentration difficulties. It seems like he is able to concentrate just fine on his current dosage. In fact, I've seen him concentrate ok with-o them on the weekends, with one or two redirections - nothing major. I think social skills training could really help difficult child. How would we go about getting him into this training? husband especially worries about difficult child wasting away his childhood. It's depressing when we walk out our front door and there are spades of children running around the neighborhood and playing in the park across the street. One of the reasons we moved to our neighborhood was because it's safe, there are a lot of parks, and there are so many children difficult child's age. It's a great place for a kid to grow up, and we wish difficult child could take advantage of that. difficult child was gone by the time we got up this morning. He hasn't gotten to the point of skipping school yet, so I'm sure he's there (and no phone call either). He knows he's not supposed to leave so early, and without taking his medication. I'm hoping he at least tries to behave today. [/QUOTE]
