[QUOTE="Fran, post: 137850, member: 3"] My first question would be "why doesn't she want to go to school?" Then help her problem solve and talk to her about how when she is on her own she can't call in sick just because she wants to. I had to finally tell difficult child that he can only call in sick if he is hallucinating with a fever or throwing up on the floor. Everything else requires adults to deal with it and go to work, even PMS. No excuses are tolerated in the real world. You want to eat? You work. Is this new behavior or typical behavior? Where is she moving to and with whom? How is she paying for it? I would either call the school and ask for suggestions or the truancy police if your community has one. You can't physically drag her but if she has plans to get a car or some other big item then tie it to school attendance. Maybe it's "grounded for the weekend if didn't attend school all 5 days" or something along those lines. [/QUOTE]
