[QUOTE="Martie, post: 44182, member: 284"] I cannot stress how right you were to keep difficult child away from this meeting if they have nothing good to say about him. What SD expect older kids to sit through is shameful in many cases--in both senses: shaming of the child and shamefully unprofessional on the part of the school staff . I fought for years to have the SD recognize my ex-difficult child's strengths but they never did anything but complain about him--they did not even like his interest in music because he was "too interested." At 20 he can articulate that my view of him as capable and having positive traits kept him going through the early adolescents years--even when he were at his worst in terms of ODD behavior. He knows he was difficult and I did not endorse all of his behavior. However, I never failed to endorse his VALUE AS A PERSON. BiPolar (BP) kids have a really hard road in my opinion. They need support not condemnation and when school district personnel can say nothing positive, it makes me wonder why they work with children. Martie [/QUOTE]
