[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 74325, member: 2063"] Well we have started having family sessions for difficult child 1 on Sunday so she doesn't have to be pulled out of school. Her counselor that does this actually comes in on her day off for this. [img]:angel:[/img] We always meet with her first then we have our session. We met today and discussed many things as usual. One of which was that difficult child said she doesn't have a problem with change [img]:smile:[/img] [img]:smile:[/img] [img]:rolleyes:[/img] [img]:crazy:[/img] I actually asked difficult child 1 if she had been taken over by aliens [img]:wink:[/img]when we discussed it after she got there. She didn't appreciate that but good grief. DENIAL!!! So we were talking a lot of her negativity when she talks to others. No she said she didn't know she was that way. [img]:hammer:[/img] So we discussed alternatives to how to address people without the negatiity to start with. Now when we talk on the phone it is 4 positive things she must say (can be about anything as long as positive) before we move on in the conversation. We shall see. Then she tells us she doesn't want to be an adult. [img]:smile:[/img] [img]:hammer:[/img] [img]:rofl:[/img] [img]:rolleyes:[/img] Not a choice little lady. And she doesn't have a problem with change!!! We actually have had a lot of luck with this placement and these workers. [img]:thumb:[/img] I even can almost say I trust them. I don't say that lightly. I have even asked a couple of guarded questions about things that happen at gfg2s facility. When I asked her why she doesn't have a problem with my questions and all the other facilities do she said she appreciates parents that are involved.

Maybe after difficult child 1 gets out I should try to get difficult child 2 transferred into the boys house there. I would work on it sooner but we can't have the two at the same facility and the boy house and girl house do interact. Well sorry so long winded but had a lot on my mind.
