[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 539321, member: 14557"] difficult child has his first full week of zero tolerance behind him. I think he has been honeymooning with it, hasn't needed much correction, but starts to sound little annoyed already. He only has less than two weeks to go before they break to independent training season/holiday for few weeks. So I assume we will really see how it works, or does it, during the fall. difficult child can keep his behaviour in check for shorter times, but when the stress, weariness and routine accumulates I'm forecasting some serious temper tantrums and trying to play the rules. He is motivated and seriously wants to work these things out, but sooner or later he is going to push it anyway - or if not, then I seriously start to wonder if someone has abducted my son and we are dealing with some imposter from outer space. difficult child is conflicted on if he wants to pursue therapy in this time for his issues. He has an appointment with psychiatrist to discuss about that this week. If he wants to start therapy he needs to have psychiatrist's referral. While we live in the country with public (and usually rather good) health care, it is likely difficult child will be considered to be 'too well' to need an intensive therapy and get public funding for that. He does have also private insurance, which we took before he was even born to give us an option to opt out from having to wait in ER for cases of sudden, not-serious illnesses at evenings, nights and weekends and which has been cheap enough to be worth keeping for certain situations. It may cover the therapy, if he gets psychiatrist to state that therapy would be beneficial to him.
