[QUOTE="Andy, post: 287852, member: 5096"] I like writting and making my kids write. So, I would ask easy child to take a tablet and start writing. She can write however she wants to describe what is going on. To give her some examples, "How did you feel when this opportunity came about?" "What was the 1st day like?" "What are things that you do not like about this experience?" "What would make it easier?" "What are the good things about this program?" In the morning, she can reread and choose to share that with you or not. However, have her make a list of the items she wants to discuss with staff. My kids think EVERYONE yells at them. They have the best teachers with so much patience and thinking out of the box attitude to teach yet once they say one thing to my kids, "Mom, that teacher is mean. She yelled at me." I was in the room, I heard. The teacher was firm but in no way disrespectful or yelling. If my kid doesn't like what he hears, then he automatically thinks the teacher doesn't like him. Ugh! And nurses can look so disrespectful to kids. They can be intimidating and have an attitude of "listen to what I say and do it, no discussion." It is hard for many adults to set that mind frame aside and feel that the nurse is really a good person looking out for their well being. How many times have you left a doctor's office saying, "I don't like that nurse or doctor" based on that type of attitude? I think they are taught in school to have the confidence in their decisions and not allow anyone to 2nd guess it so they need to be strong in what they say. This can sound like "yelling" or scolding to kids. And again, the nurse can give her input in the nicest of ways and the kid does not take it as given but thinks they are being bullied. We all know that teenagers though tough as they behave are really very overly sensitive to anything said to them - especially in the medical field. You have to follow your mommy instincts on how far gone she has gotten with the sobbing. If it is totally unlike her then maybe go get her. Still have her do the journaling - It will give her a way to vent. No matter what, definately address her response to the staff there. She has to know that yelling is not going to find an answer. If she is feeling disrespected or trapped, there are ways to address that in an appropriate manner. Temper this with the knowledge that once she fell too deep, she was unable to control her emotions. She is blindly pushing everyone away. Let her know (once she gets her emotions under control again) that she must work on keeping control and not letting herself go so far down. No judging, just teaching. [/QUOTE]
