[QUOTE="Fran, post: 219574, member: 3"] klmno- I think your suggestion is close to what I did yesterday. Thanks. Terry, the thought that our time is "free" is very offensive to me. KateM, good luck with the job. It sounds perfect for your difficult child(and mine). I am so with you in terms of getting them out of the house. The lack of initiative to get out and do something other than his version of play makes me pretty annoyed. I'm working on self direction followed by a kick in the pants. LOL. Thanks Penta, I'm sure you were outraged at the suggestions for classes. I think they must have pat answers instead of looking at each family individually. meowbunny, I have been surrounded by the members here who are all warrior moms. I would be, as Star mentioned, astounded to find parents who hadn't advocated for their kids or done their homework. It probably is a good class to offer. Star, read above. Compassion, I agree. I learned my social skills. It's about difficult child. I did my work to be this whole person. I did my work to parent difficult child to be where he is today. It's time for the focus to be on difficult child. lillian- I can't imagine that professional suggested you virtually torture a young child with cold water for a long time to make her suffer. I'm sure it didn't make one bit of difference to difficult child but you have to deal with the fall out for a long time. jennifer, thanks for the input. It helps me to know I am not off track. Marguerite, part of my concern is that I will get sucked in to the working to make their program more relevant. My life is quite full and I don't need another area to focus on. Maybe in years to come. mustang, doesn't your blood boil when you are dismissed as just a dumb parent? I want to shake them and scream "you have no idea what we have been through or done for this child" I tend to walk softly and listen but I don't suffer fools lightly when it comes to difficult child or easy child.
