[QUOTE="Fran, post: 108016, member: 3"] PamelaJ, in this particular situation, I would have made having positive friend relationships more important that trumpet. The other possibility is extracting a promise that he would do the trumpet when he got home. Our kids are horribly lonely. They want to connect so badly that if they are acting positive I would go for it. It gives foundation for success in the next social outing. Talking it through with him at a calm moment about how you fear his behavior when he doesn't get what he wants may help. I often spoke to difficult child the next day and asked him if he were the parent what would he do. It just gives them a chance to look at a situation from a different view point. No matter how late he stayed with his friend he may have acted like a doofus when he got home but you want to know you tried. Hugs. I hated nights like you had. [/QUOTE]
