[QUOTE="Fran, post: 354095, member: 3"] Thank God! someone can see a need. I'm coming in too late here but as usual, : ) I will share my .02 I'm with slsh in that I never saw a social skills "hour"/class help in any obvious way other than paid play group. in my humble opinion difficult child's like ours need social skills immersion in everyday life and class. This would probably require a full time aide trained to do social skills support, intervention and redirection. Full time immersion is academic support- again full time assistant with strong skills in educating a special needs child with emotional issues and tendency to act out violently---A male preferably Special needs recreational support- every day for an hour or more. A time to engage socially, physically and mentally. Alternating board games(chess) with physical sports. Respite every other weekend. Aide at home and on weekends to redirect aggressive behavior, aggitation and verbal lashing out. On top of this a very structured schedule that is kept to 100% until difficult child has gained his stability once more. Emergency assistance when difficult child is out of control. (preferably not police since parents are shy about calling them on their younger children) Psychological support for easy child/difficult child as well as both parents. Intruction with parents on how to cope and process living and raising a child that creates dysfunction, anger, sadness and violence in a family that is functional. So how's that for a magic wand? LOL. It's probably never going to happen but it's what I think they need until they are stable. I seriously believe that at this point, it is more important for the above than any sort of love, parenting and compassion any parent gives an emotionally unstable teen. They simply don't hear it or process it. Once they are on stable ground they are more inclined to hear what you say and understand some of the consequences to their actions. [/QUOTE]
