[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 394308"] I think that it's great that she told you that she wants to go back, but I also agree with you that she needs to be able to talk to the therapist about what she will do when she is having trouble coping or if the other kids are not as friendly as she would hope. Talk to her guidance counselor at school and she what his or her recommendation is. See if they will allow her to start back on a half day schedule. As for catching up in school, she may need to go back and start learning what the other kids are up to in order to her to stop falling behind. Then the tutors should continue to come to the house so that she can learn the things that she still has to make up. Does that make sense? My sister did that when she was in high school and had to have surgery on her ankle. This way she eventually caught up with what the rest of the class was working on. As for what she should tell the other kids when ask where she has been, she can be as vague as she wants and only has to say what she is comfortable saying. Simply saying, "I was sick and in the hospital" is a perfectly good answer. I would advise her against saying too much about it. Kids at this age can be really cruel. I would take this as a good sign. She wants to go to school, just like the other kids. She doesn't want to be different anymore. Pam [/QUOTE]
