Anyway, I have talked to the director several times. He asks how we discipline him at home. I told him what I said here. He doesn't get that it works at home. He is the instructor who got him to swim. So he knows my DS and really likes him. He knows that he responds to the right personality; but he sees it as my DS misbehaving, not that it isn't a good personality fit. He doesn't get that my DS's sensitivity is a real issue and not him misbehaving for the sake of misbehaving.
That is really hard. I have a kid just like that. It has to be a mutual respect relationship or it will go no where. Sounds like a definite change is needed. I have no brilliant advice, but much sympathy!
