[QUOTE="klmno, post: 348227, member: 3699"] I've been reading about the mentoring online. It looks like they don't actually take the kid out to do the "goals" like interacting with other peers. They just talk to them about how to do it and then basicly make them do it, report their own further recommendations to the PO and so forth. 7 hours a week seems like an awful lot to me for this kind of stuff- what am I missing? After reading it, I'm going to have to think of a couple of goals that we can give them that don't dig ourselves in too deep or are unrealistic to accomplish in 3 months while difficult child is transitioning back into school- maybe tthat is what I should tell them- they we overloaded ourselves before between my work schedule and mental health appts, etc and since it lead to him shutting down, our goal is to have a more realistic schedule that doesn't keep us in a rush all the time and allows him some free time, once allowed by PO. How's that? I would like for him to integreate with appropropritae peers though- I just don't see how they can really help with that and not just make it a requirement but then us have little time left to do it or know how to go about it, since difficult child isn't into sports- oh I know- he wants to stay in JROTC- maybe I can use that somehow. Do they ever do extraciricular activities outside of school hours? [/QUOTE]
