[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't get what the counselor was trying to accomplish with this call if it wasn't to come and pick up the child.   Does she want to hand the child a phone so you talk to them? No? then what possible good would this accomplish?

I would tell her to leave him/her alone, she or he won't stay under the table for a whole day, they'll come out eventually.  When I come home, I'll talk to the child, and revert to her.  This is all very silly.[/quote]

Actually I got a call about the opposite problem. DS was standing ON the table and wouldn't get down.  If anyone tried to take him down he started swinging.  (Yes, there were some issues.)

Anyway, they gave ds the phone (cordless) and I talked to him.  Clearly and concisely.  Get off the table NOW, apologize to the adults and behave for the rest of the day.  If I had to leave work to get him because of his behavior, he would not be a happy little boy.  He got down and apologized, and behaved for the rest of the day.  He knew from then on out that he was expected to listen.

It seems to me there's some information missing in OP's post.  Are there behavior problems?  What exactly did the guidance counselor expect from you?  Is there a plan in place to manage his issues.. if he has them?

I don't expect to hear from the school unless it's an emergency, or he's sick and needs to be picked up.
