[QUOTE="Steely, post: 162265, member: 3301"] Sending many hugs. I still get a PTSD flashback with even the mention of field trips, let alone elementary school. Sigh. I understand. One thing I found effective on one of the field trips I hosted, was to adopt a lot of the other kids, and shower attention on them. I pretended as if difficult child was barely mine. It was interesting the unusual attention this generated from difficult child. It seemed to really throw his usual, icky, antics off - and see me in another light. (It had the double benefit of me soaking up love from the other kiddos in his class - some of which did not have stable parental influences.) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
