[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 247748, member: 805"] Shari, as the mother of a parent who has had a 1:1 for a number of years, I would like to give you my opinion. Personally, I believe the 1:1 is a fresh start. I also believe that our children, especially the younger ones, do act differently when we are around (many times it worse when we are there). If I were in your place, I would put difficult child on a modified day, perhaps coming home right after lunch. It will hopefully be less taxing on him and the class/teacher. Perhaps he can hold it together in the mornings which means he will build a bank of good days. Never underestimate the effects of continued discipline in school on our difficult children. When the 1:1 starts, I suggest a meeting with you, the teacher, whoever will be the 1:1 primary contaxt at school, and the 1:1. Apraise him or her (and I believe same sex 1:1s are best) of his history from your perspective and allow the teacher to do the same from hers. Then I suggest an informal meeting with difficult child, the 1:1 and yourself. A nice low key time. Perhaps give difficult child a little boost by saying, "difficult child, why don't you walk down and show Mr. X where the library and the lunch room are?" Give them a little time to be togther outside the classroom but still at school. I think it's best if the 1:1 develops his own opinion of difficult child (armed with your and the teacher's input). A good 1:1 can figure out our difficult children fairly quickly. The two good ones we've had, had difficult child pegged in a matter of days. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
