Thanks for sharing Irisheyes. I knew it had to happen for some girls, but just hadn't heard of it. I have heard of girls pulling back and holding it all in, or pretending to not know things. Not that that is any better. Glad she found a better program. We had the same situation with our DS. Better program made for no behavior issues. But I too remember the dread of hearing how he did each day when he was in his 3yo program. It was way to stressful.
As we had a psychologist tell us, "Kids like this ... their minds are always going. So either you give them something to do to stimulate them ... or they're going to think of something themselves ... and it's rarely good."
How true. We have found to give DS things to do when he gets antsy. He just craves more and more brain stimulation, and it seems to settle him more. That's why play-based program didn't work for him. Plus I think the amount of kids/lack of structure was a little overwhelming. I do worry about Public school in the fall.
