[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 225219, member: 3626"] There is so much good in your post. Your son actually got to hear from peers about some of his good qualities. We parents can say it til we're blue in the face but we're just the parents. I do know what works for my daughter is to be very specific when I say something good about her -- I have to name names, places and exactly what was said/seen. The other trick is talking to someone else and being sure she overhears what is being said. Sure glad the kid has very good ears. That he's hearing how much his roomie is trying is also impressive. That he cares about his roomie and is rooting for him also will help him. He may just decide when he is ready to come home rather than having it decided for him. As to the talk in the cafeteria, it sounds like he still needs to try to scare/shock you. It shows he's not near ready to come home and that he's still a teen trying to how how tough, strong he is. I really don't like teens. They're just not nice people in general but they are so dang lovable in their arrogant innocence. I'm sorry the SW shot down your ideas. Maybe the regular one will have some ideas that will truly be useful. Here's hoping. [/QUOTE]
