[QUOTE="Andy, post: 151649, member: 5096"] I hear you! My difficult child refused this fall. I ended up going to school with him. SW asked, "WHY!!!" "Because we had no idea what was going on - he had lost all his energy - was not diagnosis as a difficult child yet. If I had known it was anxiety, I would have encouraged him more to go it alone." Encouraged is the key word - not threaten. Anyway - You can talk to your difficult child tonight - "I notice you are having a very difficult time going to school. I don't get it. What is going on? What has changed?" He may be ready to talk tonight? You can then come up with a plan. Make it simple and put it in writing so difficult child can read it in the morning. Have you talked to his teacher? Any insight there? I think we have to be as positive as possible when working through problems with kids. We are teaching them communication skills and certainly do not want them communicating in the way the principal is right now. I know this is very hard - I can be as positive as you can get with everyone except my family - I then think "They should get this!" So, I have to work on that. Part of communicating is getting as much info as possible and if you are not kind about how you handle a kid, they will clam up. Angry enough? Wait until school has started tommorrow so no kids are around. Go into the principal's office and sound off your complaint, "THAT IS NOT HOW YOUR TREAT KIDS!!! You are suppose to be the role model here. I do not want my kid threatened. You are the adult, you should know how to talk to an upset kid. My son deserves an apology from you!" (then again, maybe I am not that positive of a person?) [/QUOTE]
