Mom 0405,
Sounds like you have the situation as under control as you can for the moment!
Just wanted to let you know that I can empathize with your situation. Regardless of if DH and I are lousy parents or it was a bad school fit or just DS's temperment, he has been pulled from 1 school at age 4.5, expelled from another at 7, and we are currently advocating with the public school since they seem to think that expecting him to spend most of his school time learning how to handle being bored.
I don't expect anyone to FIX my child, he isn't broken. Give him appropriate challenge and he is a completely different child from the one coming home from school the past few months.
There is not one way to raise these challenging children. Othrwise as I read somewhere else the placenta would include an instruction manual tailored to each child... That is why I love this board. It is a very supportive environment to gather information, make suggestions and try out ideas without judgment.
Best of luck and keep posting
