[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 280946, member: 1233"] I would have raged too! They first took his cookie and expected him to be nice about it?? Who are these morons? Then the adults ATE his cookie and were surprised he had a meltdown?????? He is just a little kid!! The fact that they did it to other kids proves that these "adults" were hired from the Grinch Labor Pool. I wonder what they would have done if HE ate THEIR cookies? in my opinion hands on other people's stuff is time to have the child put his/her hands on their head for a while (hands being held on your head can't get into other people's stuff) or a PROPER time out. Eating his cookie, esp as it was for his brother (and he probably TOLD them that), is NOT a logical consequence. It is NOT reasonable, or even very mature. Poor difficult child. To me it sounds like these people are in desperate need of training. And if this camp is owned by someone, complain to them. BIG TIME. Heck, no matter WHO owns it find the top of the food chain and complain. Don't bother with the middle people. Find the big kahuna. If it is through the school then go to the superintendent of schools (esp as his IEP may apply to summer programs as well as reg school). IF this is a locally owned private program, find the owner. Threaten bad publicity (letter to the editor type thing - it could be worded VERY easily to put hte camp in the proper light!)/ If it is run by the city, contact the city council members. Poor wee difficult child just can't catch a break, can he? Give him a hug for me and tell him that I would have had a meltdown too! And when you next come to town for the dev pediatrician I know the place that has the BEST cookies! [/QUOTE]
