[QUOTE="nvts, post: 179555, member: 3814"] Hey Hon! I know how you're feeling. I lost a job of 14 years because of the b.s. with preschools. I haven't been able to go back to work because of all the b.s. with regular schools. I find it interesting that he kept it together for 1/2 day kindergarden but can't keep it going in camp. You know what I think? There are 2 dynamics going on here. 1. Even if it's 1/2 day, kindergarden is structured. He knew that he would get in, hang up his things, go to his table, take out his book, say the pledge, etc. In camp, a lot of it is all casual and fun. He may crave the structure to help keep himself together. If he has ANY sort of anxiety issues, it could be that his brain is looking for the comfort of "ducks in a row". Once he doesn't have that sense of predictability, he ruptures and craves the structure of home. Once the para is set up, you may want to sit down with her and give her a plan of action to follow. Even if it means she has to structure "free time" for him. 2. difficult child 3 would throw a hissy fit everyday at school. By the time she was in first grade, I was told that if I was not going to be within a 1 mile radius of the school, they would call the cops and ACS if I didn't get her immediately. It was a flippin' nightmare. Consider the 1st dynamic and see if that might help. Believe me, I used to walk out of my office with keys stuck to my head because I was banging it against the keyboard by 10:00 every frickin' day! Feel better! (You're not the first one that wished they could give 'em back you know! - I think if you took a poll, just about everyone on here would admit that they thought about it once or twice!).
