DD8 has a history of being stubborn and "defiant"...we are STILL trying to keep her in the school she's at, but maybe I am the one who's attitude is changing...
WHY does she "have to" do what everyone else is doing? Sure, we will test and see what her abilities are now, but is that because it's what she needs or because you don't want her to rock the boat?
Is it possible to let my child SAY that she wants to try a different school or possibly even homeschool and give her that and NOT have it being some kind of control/manipulation situation?
It's taken me a long time to even come to the point where I can contemplate that her "bad" behavior in the classroom is a cry for help on her part and I'm still not sure how much I should let an 8 year old determine the situation...
