[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 497860, member: 1722"] {{{Hugs}}} It really hurts to watch our kids implode socially. I hope everyone (school, psychiatrist & difficult child) can learn from this and he'll be better supported the next time this sort of opportunity comes up. FWIW, last year I had been trying to warn Duckie's teacher for weeks that she needed a different approach but she didn't alter how she dealt with Duckie until she saw the results: over two hours of meltdown in her classroom. Nothing violent, just sobbing and being inconsolable. I couldn't make her understand that Duckie's tough-as-nails exterior was just a front for a very scared and confused little girl... but all the teacher saw was willfulness. I think a lot changed that day when Duckie broke down and the teacher changed her tune (finally). It saddened me, though, that Duckie was pushed to a very humiliating point in front of her peers. The good news is that she appears to have recovered well this year. I hope the same holds true for your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
