[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 493967, member: 11791"] Kimmie... My observation? This is COMMON for difficult children. There's multiple reasons for it - depending on the difficult child. Anything from the highly-manipulative "gotta preserve my public image" type... ... to what our family has dealt with... exhaustion. difficult child can just barely keep it together for school. For years, by the time difficult child gets home... BOOM. WE got it all. So, the schools, and the tdocs, said "it must be something at home, then". *** watch out for this one - because it is NOT about "home" *** A kid needs to be able to go to school, do what has to get done, behave appropriately - and still have enough left at the end of the day to enjoy some semblance of a "normal" evening - even if the evening ends early. Should be able to do a chore after school, maybe help with supper (at his age, set the table?), play nice, enjoy supper... NOT necessarily able for after-school sports and all sorts of extracurriculars... but just "ordinary living". Can't get that far? Its "overload" at school... sensory, mental, emotional, neuromotor, physical, whatever other forms of fatigue you can come up with. [/QUOTE]
