[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 49177, member: 3211"] Hmmmm, I wonder who was saying that very statement a week ago? As some of you will remember, difficult child's anxiety stepped up ten notches when discussing returning to collab. day treatment program after discharge from psychiatric hospital. last week. I repeatedly encouraged him that he could get through the final 14 days of school and that he had a new, improved outlook, etc. Well, as luck would have it, the four days in this past school week went very well. They had an all-day field trip Thursday to a local beach which has a huge playground, large sandy beach and a very nice gazeebo/picnic area. Staff had all sorts of activities planned - 3-legged race, sack race, egg toss game, etc. difficult child said they got there and before you knew it, it was time to get back on the bus and go back. That night, he said he really didn't want to tell me, but he decided Collaborative Day really wasn't so bad. He said with a sigh "You were right Mom". [img]:rolleyes:[/img] I think it may have physically hurt him to say so, but you gotta love it! So far, staff has reported the only negative is that difficult child still wants to talk and talk and talk. I know that's distracting in a school setting, but I keep restraining myself from telling them that at least they haven't had to call the police because he's throwing desks and threatening to injure himself or anyone else. Only 10 more school days to go!!! Still crossing my fingers, but I am remembering to breathe!! [/QUOTE]
