Thank you SO much! It REALLY helps to know what has worked for you. It's also nice to be reminded that I'm not a bad parent and that DS's behavior is normal (i.e., that he's not a *bad* kid). Even though I spoke to DS's teacher yesterday, the curriculum director wants to meet with me today. Next Saturday we have our semi-annual parent/teacher conferences. I only get 15 minutes with DS's teachers. I'm trying to figure out what questions I need to ask that will benefit DS the most. I'm going to talk about what you've written with DH and DGma tonight. Thanks again! {{{hugs}}} smile
