[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 203146, member: 6118"] Thanks for the hugs, I really could use them :blushing: My opinion on that day is the school staff didn't handle her very well. As her 3rd grade teacher puts it she "shuts down". It could be anxiety, stress, frustration, whatever. We cannot pinpoint anything specifiic yet. When she's in this mode, the best way to avoid an escalation is to just leave her alone. Otherwise, talking to her or trying to move her just makes it worse. She'll get violent and lash out at anyone around, run down the hallways, scream, bite, hit etc. The staff says that they can't work with the suggestions I gave them because she's disrupting class (I can't see how she disrupts class because she's sitting or standing there.....not responding) and they need to move her along. Well, it was their choice. She ran out of the school and I just walked normally to my car. The nurse and SW were running after her saying they were worried she'd run into the parking lot. Knowing my daughter, I wasn't afraid she'd do that, however, there could always be a first time. I got her into the car, got the seat belt on all the while she's screaming and hitting me. I drove the 3 blocks home and told her to go to her room. At that point, I didn't care if she just stood there in the doorway. Basically, it's the fact that I left her alone before trying to get info on why she shut down. We've just stepped over her tantrums when she was younger and would go about our normal business. She learned pretty fast how to calm herself down enough to cry or talk. I did notice that when I'm frustrated that the entire episode escalates cuz I'm sure she feels my emotions. I have never liked the school district Learning Disability (LD) training. I've always felt they needed more training on how to handle issues like this. They never suggested sending her to another school for behavioral issues so I can't say they didn't know what they were getting into. I was reading the PWS thread and someone suggested making a diary. I did one many years ago, but I'm thinking I should really start again. Trouble is, I don't hear about ALL the school issues anymore even though I've specifically asked the teachers to email or make a quick call home. they said it wasn't a big deal because they left her alone, and within a minute or two she was back into the class fine.
