[QUOTE="keista, post: 432586, member: 11965"] Hi. I'll echo what Seriously and Midwest Mom had to say. Dealing with the other parents and school personnel can be extremely difficult, but especially in your situation, I would do my best to accept your portion of the blame (as you say you have) but also "throw it back" It's gotten to a pattern where your child is getting bullied into his reactions. Sure, he's 'overreacting', but the kids know this and are CAUSING it. I've dealt with this with my two oldest. I started demanding that the kids who pushed my child into the frenzy be held accountable as well. At the same time, my kids learned coping skills to help them to reach out for assistance at the first sign of a "meltdown" and to temper their reactions. At the 504 meting for DD1, after citing some situations and examples, her teacher (awesome woman who really "got" DD1), looked at me and said, "If you REALLY think about it, she was JUSTIFIED in her reactions." Ah, yea, she was. However, DD1 was also overreacting. We needed to help her learn to react appropriately to such situations, and make sure administration pauses and thinks a bit before automatically threatening her with a suspension. Good luck, and stick around. This is a great place for support and guidance. [/QUOTE]
