[QUOTE="Andy, post: 394063, member: 5096"] I think that some difficult child's are able to control in school and public but let it out in what they perceive as their safe zone "home". My difficult child (and even Diva) are much the same. They are well behaved in school and public places like the doctor's office and then meltdown at home. They don't want others outside of home to see them at their worst. I would get Diva to go to school by telling her that SHE can call her teacher to tell him why SHE did not want to go to school. SHE wasn't about to let her teacher know how she was misbehaving so she went to school. I also think that the stronger the meltdown the longer they have been holding it in. My difficult child does have true deep anxiety but has learned to control it outside his safe zone (home) and actually is doing great at controlling it at home also. Anxiety does not always present in meltdown and rages - you can still have true and deep anxiety without them. You as a parent are learning to pick up on his cues. You know when the anxiety is there when others may not recognize it. [/QUOTE]
