[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 27537, member: 3211"] Gosh, thanks for the support everyone! I have been a having a problem with our internet feed - it seems to work for a few moments at a time. I get on here and begin to read some posts and get booted off - I have just seen all of your responses to my "bully" post of late in the week. I'm glad to know that it's not just me who had the immediate thought that I had to call. I want difficult child to be able to handle his own problems/situations, but I am in total agreement that he has not learned all of the tools yet, although he is on his way. I called the program Friday, but the Clinical Advisor was out for a medical appointment (there was no school). I will call again Monday. Probably the part that concerned me most was that difficult child was self-blaming himself for the harsh words and treatment. That was hardest to hear and hardest to talk him out of. I told him in no uncertain terms that no annoying behavior he does warrants treatment like that from a peer. Poor kid's self-esteem has taken such a lengthy hard hit over the years that he believes he deserves to be called those things and treated that way. Makes me very sad. I know kids can be mean - I had my fair share of "jerk" classmates, but nothing like they behave today. UGH! Thanks again for the support. I will let you know what transpires. [/QUOTE]
