[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 373881, member: 1169"] Absolute structure and lower expectations. My Kanga functions far better in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) than she ever did at home. There are far less demands on them in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) (contrary to how I thought it would be). I think a lot of difficult children thrive on a strict schedule. While in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), a lot of the normal demands of life aren't there - any conflict with a peer is quickly moderated by staff; staff tends to speak only in calm soothing tones; paid for everything in either points or cash. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) does not do a great job in preparing kids for reintegration into the real world. The other possibility - since you said he did comply for 3 months - is that he is entering a depressive cycle or school phobia is rearing its ugly head as the start of a new year approaches. [/QUOTE]
