[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 36630, member: 1991"] It means they've taken notice and are trying to work out what to say as a united front. You know them better than I do - can you extrapolate some possible responses from them? If you can, make a list and formulate your replies to them. Run it in your head, but make notes to have with you and keep the notes in your pocket or by the phone. Take notes of what they say, try and remember to write it down word for word. All this may blow over and they may cave, or they may not. But being able to quote them back later on will be really useful. I hope it means they give way, but it's most likely that they will save face before anything else. If you feel that is what they are doing, try suggesting "working with them as a team to all develop skills to handle this for future situations, and other kids further down the track. All kids are different and the skills they have clearly developed for other difficult kids may not be enough in this case; but if you can keep the communication happening and pool resources then you should be able to help educate this child as a team." It's the emphasis on team work (with you on the team) and also that it's no shame to not have all the answers with your son, because he IS not like most others, that should keep the channels open, you involved and relations as cordial as possible. I just hope you don't have to kick it up to the next level and put in the boot. Marg [/QUOTE]
