[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 711016, member: 13260"] Yeah, eloping is a huge no-no. They gave my grandson an "okay" place to run to where he could go without consequences. We then built in breaks, walks, etc. and it worked out okay. I wonder if there's some male competition/power struggle stuff happening. And yes, the other kids antagonized my grandson until they got a reaction, which they always did. It's awful and I don't have the answer. We've scripted things to say, rehearsed actions that are okay to take when being targeted like that. His last school was horrid for that with about five boys running the playground. His new school is better, but kids will be kids and bullies are lacking skills, too. But, when the poor kids is being embarrassed, hassled, and deliberately goaded into a melt-down, all that pre-loaded stuff goes out the window. I've seen things that make me want to strangle some kids. They can be so damn mean. But like Mr. Rogers says, look for the helpers. They're there. My grandson loves helping the special needs class and that's a big reward for him. And keep drilling down and interviewing ala Explosive Child and see what you can find out. [/QUOTE]
