[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 169580, member: 393"] [I][B]Christy, Neither of my children were told ahead of time; wm especially. For wm, we arranged others to transport him straight from the psychiatric hospital (both times) - 2 big burly men in another vehicle. I met them at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), signed the papers & left in a very short period. I arranged for the admit interview for the next day when emotions & nerves weren't quite so raw. For kt, she was told an hour before admittance to Residential Treatment Center (RTC); we had 3 adults in the car for transport & the psychiatrist at the psychiatric hospital had given her a PRN shot for safe transport. Again, I arranged for admit interview for the next day though I could have done it in my sleep by then. "Transfer kt's name for wm & work out the treatment plan". Whatever you're plan, please have backup. Telling a difficult child too soon gives them time to mull things over; their anxiety tends to rise to an uncontrollable level & meltdowns, running, etc. ensues. At least with my difficult children. Good luck & keep us updated please. [/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
