[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 61507, member: 2423"] When you say, "meltdown," what is the specific behavior you're describing? My guess is that he doesn't want to be at the appointments or the piano lesson. My 14-year-old son often reacts with anger or sullenness when we take him to his psychiatrist. While there, he completely shuts down and won't talk to the psychiatrist. It's not that we're taking attention from him -- he thinks it's a complete waste of his time to be there. He also has a lot of anxiety and doesn't like to reveal anything personal about himself. Honestly, I don't think your difficult child's behavior is all that abnormal for a difficult child. I'm not sure many difficult children enjoy going to doctor appointments. Has your difficult child previously enjoyed piano lessons? If so, the teacher might not be a good match for him. If not, it might not be the best time to push the lessons. Any medication changes gong on? [/QUOTE]
