[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 7706, member: 696"] I bet in the long run, most kids who enter Residential Treatment Center (RTC) go through multiple phases. I betcha the phase your difficult child is in is quite normal, it just happens to be happening during the holidays. I would expect difficult child to test the limits. That's how he learns consequences. I would think that Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s are a little more "consistent" as far as rules and consequences than we parents our. It's a shame that it's happening now, and it sure does hurt our mommy heart. There is a great deal of sadness and disappointment that we deal with. I personally don't like the month of June. It reminds me too much of what we didn't get from difficult child 2. December's not so hot for difficult child 1 but then he's difficult child 1 [img]:grin:[/img] While I don't think your visiting should be a carrot, I do think a home visit should be earned. Great big (((sunny hugs))) for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
