[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 682686, member: 11791"] We never punished at home for something that was punished at school. It was talked about, to figure out our kid's side of the story and help us determine if the school responded appropriately - often not, either too harsh OR to soft! It's so tough because you don't know what you are dealing with. I'm more like you - I'd have been pushing every doorbell and knocking on every door long before now. I prefer to give some space and then come back and talk a bit, repeat as necessary. Some kids need to be held tightly, to feel "external control", not as punishment, but in order to feel safe. Some kids tantrum because they simply are overloaded and need time away - not as punishment, but just space so they can cope. Can he give you a POA so you can speak on his behalf? Might get some things done faster... [/QUOTE]
