[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 342165, member: 8831"] at what point do you know the difference? are there signs that differ between the two?? phone call from the school---high frustration level, crying and hit her head [I]again[/I]...now in a totally different subject. we have her now on a modified day with tutoring (starting today) for the first troublesome subject. she goes in late, and will stay late 3X week for private tutoring. it was seemingly the only remediation we could come up with regarding this first problem. quite frankly, i've moved heaven and earth for this kid in a very short period of time. and i'm quickly running out of ideas. we cant help wondering if she is making the connection from "i cant control my acting out" to "*if* i act out, i'll get out of something"...yes, she's smart enough to figure it out. her mood seemed fine this morning. she certainly could have been ruminating on the new tutoring, but at this point, who knows. honestly, i'm never really sure with her WHAT i'm seeing, and seriously i dont know if i could tell the "real difficult child" from the "off difficult child". (i'm reasonably sure she was ill long before we really picked up on it) yes, i'm keeping a log for the psychiatrist, and yeah, i'm guessing we need to go up on medications or add some... [/QUOTE]
