[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 665938, member: 13260"] Day 6. Suspended for tomorrow. Crap on a cracker but I'm tired of this. On the positive side, all the hard work we did over the summer was apparent to the principal. But he made the wrong person mad with his language and disrespect (the only male teacher on the whole campus, told some fifth grade boys that he thought this teacher was a m** F**. When the boys told the teacher what Difficult Child had said, he was really angry and threatened to "drag you to the office." Um yeah. This kid has a horrible relationship with his emotionally abusive father, so you know that went well. Sigh. At least he didn't hit anybody or tear up the school. That's big. He did swing his now-forbidden tablet at me and hit me in the leg when I tried to take it away from him once we got home, but it felt different than before because he reined himself in very quickly and started crying saying that he didn't mean to really hit me. And he accepted his consequences with more maturity than I've ever seen from him before. His anxiety level is down and that is making a definite difference. He also has a truly amazing teacher who really understands him so his days at school in general are going better than last year because she is prepared for him and is very observant, young, sweet, and energetic. We'll see if it's durably better or it's just a honeymoon. He tries so hard and he disappoints himself, which cause anxiety which causes the other bad stuff. Trying to find interventions to break this cycle is so hard and proving to be slow going. [/QUOTE]
