[QUOTE="Martie, post: 156790, member: 284"] Hi, You need to pick your battles I think. It is not the end of the earth if difficult child serves a detention. What I am concerned about is lack of following his BIP. I would ask for a meeting (in writing by CERTIFIED MAIL, of course) and get relevant staff on board with what is supposed to be happening. Given the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, talking too much is a distinct possibility and there needs to be POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORTS NOT KNEE-JERK DISCIPLINE. That is what the law requires and in my opinion, you should insist on a plan to deal with each of difficult child's potential problem behaviors. Explain to him that life is not fair, but you are trying to make it better for him and his needs. I WOULD NOT try to get this detention revered because that will detract from the real issue. I don't usually give parenting advice but I found as my ex-difficult child was the age of yours, reminding him of (and empathizing with) that not everything that happens in life is "fair" is a developmental growth process that is important to developing coping skills.
