[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 201815, member: 4425"] Thanks to all. I ordered my copy of The Explosive Child from Amazon over the weekend (the local library had a 3 month wait) and it should be here today or tomorrow. The original reason for not wanting to go to school yesterday was because pictures were being taken. When I told him that he did NOT have to get his picture taken, he told me that last year, even though we didn't buy pictures, he had to get his picture taken for the yearbook. After we came back home and were waiting on the resource officer, his reasons changed every couple minutes. First it was my tummy hurts... then I don't want to go to school because math is too hard, then (this one about made me LOL but I didn't) he wanted to see his therapist (that he has only seen 1X). The reason he wouldn't leave the office was because his class was in the process of getting pictures taken when we got there. We assured him over and over that he did NOT have to get it taken even for the yearbook, but he still would not leave the office. It probably took 20 minutes to get him to leave the office. We have had issues with rages in the past due to pictures... once at the zoo when I wanted a picture of all the kids together so that in case we got separated I had a picture to show the park workers, once at Busch Gardens when we wanted him to dress up for an "old-time" picture. on the other hand if I get the digital out here at home for some shots here at home, he is the first one wanting to do something silly for the camera. When we were at Busch gardens, he let me take the pics of him and his sisters in case we got separated, posed for a picture taken by a park employee in front of the gate, and loved the pictures they take each car on the roller coasters, he loved to see himself riding. So I never know if having a picture taken is going to set off a rage or not. There is just no consistency to it. CrazyinVA, Thanks for reminding me that just getting him to school was a victory. I needed to hear that Hugs Jan [/QUOTE]
