[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 555055"] What did the guidance counselor do to help the situation? We went through something very similar with difficult child when he first started middle school (although he wasn't refusing to go to school). When they started they were given 2 weeks to get familiar with the lay out of the school, but the morning of the day the teachers were going to start marking kids late he was an absolute mess! Telling me that he couldn't do it. It was too hard. Please don't make him go. I made him go, but I also called the GC and told him that he was a mess when he left the house that morning. GC called difficult child down to his office and they talked about it. GC told difficult child that if it looked like he was going to be late for a class don't go to the class, but go to guidance instead. GC said that he would give difficult child a pass so that he would not get into trouble for being late. Just the idea that he had a safety net was enough for him. He was fine with getting to all of his classes every day and he never once had to go to guidance to ask for a pass. He just needed to know that someone understood what his worries were. [/QUOTE]
