[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 12062, member: 393"] JJJ, I'm sorry that your difficult children made such poor choices. It's unfortunate that the entire family was included in the consequences. While, as Allen stated, it's an opportunity to learn for your difficult children, there will be a negative backlash on your other children's parts. Siblings tend to be less forgiving of these types of choices, especially when they weren't the ones involved. You cannot take what psychiatrist said to heart this far in the game. Any psychiatrist who would make that damning a statement regarding a child isn't worth a great deal, in my humble opinion. That's far too early in a child's life to give that type of prognosis. No one knows how maturity, skills training & such will impact a child. What's the next step for difficult children? I'm thinking hard labor (scrubbing floors behind appliances, comes to mind), because if your difficult children are anything like wm, the ban from the rec center will make little difference. An out of sight out of mind mentality is in play here. Take a long warm bubble bath with a glass of wine & a good book. [/QUOTE]
