[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 614674, member: 3512"] difficult child is refusing to go to school today. This is by no means a new problem. It's looking like its coming down to HomeSchooling or Residential. I KNOW if I homeschooled him he would learn so much more IF I could somehow get him to listen. We tried this once before and it didn't work. He is learning NOTHING in school. The school has definitely contributed to his problems but he's never been able to be in a classroom long since Kindergarden. I am so tired of this battle. I feel like I should be imposing consequences but that ALWAYS causes meltdowns which wind us up in the hospital. I have to go to our store because we are basically broke so I can't tell him he can't play with his one friend today (he waits all week to have a few minutes with this kid...:(because if I told him that he'd never go with me to the store and I need the money. My husband has been in NY for business and we'll relieve me at 1:30 otherwise the store would never work either because he gets "bored" there. I can't help thinking if we had ever been able to enforce consequences, things would not be at this point. I feel like I'm always backed into a corner...:( [/QUOTE]
