[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 390389, member: 1991"] I did think about this angle, Susie, but the problem is - Daisy's failure to 'cooperate' with the school etc over the requested plan change sets her difficult child up for an excuse to fail. "I TOLD you I didn't want to study those subjects any more!!" But if a contract is set up between difficult child and the school (Daisy not involved, but sitting back and insisting on the contact being set up) then difficult child is the one who has to be held accountable for her inability to comply, even after changes have been made to suit her. On the topic of "You wouldn't go in to her place of employment" - this is not the same thing. And with a difficult child - sadly I would, and have had to. But on the same basis - to help my child negotiate her own terms and conditions, to get my child to do as much of this as she can for herself and to ensure that anything else I do is HER choice and her responsibility to own. It's not easy. Marg [/QUOTE]
