Hello master of none and everyone
Wondering how it's going with your dd7??? I'm hoping it's going better and if it's not, I want to offer some hope!!! Wow, let me tell you, it has been a whirlwind with my ds...Wondering if he has ADD, disrespect issues, behavior problems etc...Pulling my hair out with wondering "What the heck is going on??!!??"...Desperately trying to find an answer!!! Well, it was as simple as getting him appropriate ability-level work...Having to fight for it and not backing down. He is like a completely different kid!!! YAY!!! Don't get me wrong...He still has his moments of "blank looks" haha but it is SO much better than before. The kid was so bored!!! Now I look back, and it all seems so logical, so simple....But when you have teachers doubting your child, you sometimes look for all the negatives...What could you be missing??? His teacher even said to me, "Have you thought of medication?"After convincing and demanding that the school meet his needs, I have to tell you, it is pure joy now!!! The school has been wonderful...He is pulled out for g/t program, has a one-on-one tutor for math and research projects, AND also has a private science mentor!!! HORRAY!!! He is SO HAPPY
I look back now at how confused I was thinking that it might be ADD or something else, when it was as simple as just plain old boredom...Wow. Just another reason to keep trusting your heart (and childs)
