[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 87121, member: 1233"] Anxiety and school refusal are REAL problems, not something he is making up. He seems to have some real fears, and "just making him go" is not going to "fix" them. I do not think having someone come drag him out of the house is going to be a successful solution. I would also like to know exactly what kinds of docs he has seen, and if they have done any testing. The school may have a homebound program, or you may want to check out homeschooling. There are online curriculums that take a lot of the pressure and worry out of curriculum planning for parents. His father died unexpectedly, this has to have a very large impact on him. Has he received any grief counselling? What is his developmental history? What does the family tree look like on both sides with regards to substance abuse, mental health issues (diagnosed or not) and any other health issues? I think you have a lot going on in a young man's body. I woudl recommend a neuropsychologist exam. These docs usually do a LOT of testing, very thorough. As for taking him away, if you are doing your best, the school is just trying toscare you. The Nevada Homeschool Network has a lot of good info about it. I am so sorry you are going through this. I know how scary a violent child can be. Susie [/QUOTE]
