[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 400132"] My difficult child has threatened this on several occasions and I have told him that I would not call him out sick and when the school called to verify that he was sick. I would tell the school that he was not sick, that he was simply refusing to go to school, to mark it as an unexcused absence, and that he will have to deal with the consequences when he goes back to school. That usually works for my son because the teachers think that he is an angel and he does not want them to know what he is like at home. Then I would call the school and ask to speak to the counselor. If you drive him to school and he refuses to get out of the car, call into the school and ask the counselor to come out to see what is happeneing. In my case, part of the problem was that difficult child was SO good in school that they could not imagine him behaving they way I was describing and I think they thought I was making it up. A friend of mine had to do that. Her daughter was refusing to go to school and the counselor was blowing off the mom's concerns, until the mom drove the daughter to school and the counselor saw the meltdown with her own eyes. When your son does not got to school, are there any consequences? If he allowed to play with his toys? Video games? Watch t.v.? If he insists that he is sick and can't go, I would tell him that he can lay in bed. If he is sick, he should not be up doing the funm things anyway becuase he needs to rest and get well. Maybe he'll get bored because staying home won't be fun anymore. Pam [/QUOTE]
