[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370021, member: 1233"] That was the summer we sent Wiz to teen camp at the Y. The leader of the group was a college kid who had a real gift for working with teens. Wiz learned a LOT about how to behave like a regular teen. Is there a university near where you live? Maybe you could approach the head of the school of education about hiring a college kid to do things with difficult child so that difficult child gets an idea of how to act like a teen instead of like a little kid. If you call or visit the Dean or Department Head's office the secretary should be able to either help you or put you in touch with someone who can help you. Remember that our difficult children tend to be roughly 30% behind their same age peers in maturity. Your 13yo difficult child is more comfortable with 9yo kids because that is where he is in maturity (other than physical and maybe academic). That is why having someone "cool" like a college age guy can be so helpful. [/QUOTE]
