[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dont' phrase it as "has to change schools" but "GETS to change schools" - to one that can better help her with her anxiety-driven outbursts so they're less frequent, and less intense when they happen. I'd tell her a week before school ends so she has time to say goodbye to people. [/quote]

But this is a lie? Public school isn't going to help her with this. [/quote]

Public schools have a lot more resources to throw at kids than privates. [/quote]

That doesn't mean they're going to help her, or that it's why she's going.[/quote]

It doesn't mean they're not. Stop being so negative about this. Your child has an illness. It causes her to behave in a way that is annoying to you and others around her. You're punishing her for the symptoms of her illness. You need parenting classes because you've been disciplining the same way over and over and it's not working. So you need to learn new ways to discipline. You know the latin root of the word "discipline" is instruction/teach. It's not punish, which is what you're focusing on. Whether you get different parenting classes or a family therapist who can help you to help your daughter, it's very clear you need outside help. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS NOT WORKING. Can't you see that?
