[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 311048, member: 3444"] I agree with SW and think that pushing an already overwhelmed kid is not the answer. Doesn't Ross Greene say that "Children do well if they can?" The structure of the Catholic school may be good for him, but the rigidity (which is entirely different) is probably not. He may be better served in a more therapeutic environment. Not necessarily a facility like SW ended up going with, but something that provides the structure he needs along with the appropriate supports and interventions a kid like him needs. It's not a sign of failure on anyone's part. It's just the fact that he needs different tools to succeed. He CAN succeed -- I mean, look at the test scores! He just doesn't have all the tools he needs to function to the best of his true abilities. And it sounds like that school he's in now is not prepared to teach him the way he needs to be taught. Don't despair. You've tried this school and maybe it doesn't work out. It just means you need to keep looking. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
