[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 383056, member: 2423"] TeDo, even teachers can use Collaborative Problem Solving (a la Ross Greene) if they know about it or are willing to. In this case, rather than telling your son he had to sit at his own desk or go to the office, the teacher would say kindly, "Can you tell me what's going on that makes you want to sit in the back of class today?" And then if she could tap into making him feel understood rather than punished, he would most likely work with her rather than against her. In addition to his book The Explosive Child, Ross Green wrote a book called Lost at School about the educational system that you might want to look into. Does your son have an IEP? Is it possible that the school needs some education about how to handle your son in more effective ways (in a collaborative way, of course)? It's not off the mark to ask for a meeting in which you and your son's school team can explore ways to work with him, not against him, at school. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
