[QUOTE="kspiro77, post: 461099, member: 12819"] Hi everyone! I just found this group this morning and I am already feeling better. I am another frustrated mother of a kindergartner. I have a 5-year-old and he has been having "behavioral issues" since day 1. The first day of school I received a phone call from the teacher. The 2nd day I received an email from the art teacher. It has been a daily problem since. I have requested an IEP and all I get is "well its being worked on, we need to do a thorough evaluation first". But in the meantime I keep hearing about his awful days and how he's defiant and disruptive in class. He is putting holes in his papers, scribbling, flailing his arms and hitting others. He slapped a teacher in the hallway on her hand for trying to help him, he pulled on a kids backpack and almost knocked him down, he took his shoes off and refused to put them back on, he spins in circles, and on the bus he is now trying to trip others and stands on the seat to reach out to other kids. I'm so irritated with the school system. They call me for answers, but I thought they were supposed to be helping me. I call everyday to see how he's doing. I'm always asking why the IEP has not been done yet. I say he needs an aide in his room to help the teacher. They all treat me like I'm crazy. Ugh. He's already been diagnosed with ADHD and the doctor has started him on Focalin XR. Apparently his mornings are better, but the afternoons are still iffy. I have been considering having him see a child psychologist, but I don't know if that will hurt him or help him. He's so smart, but the school work sent home is all scribbles. He says he doesn't like art because he can't do it. I have also considered maybe putting him in the Special Education program at the school to get him in a smaller group. Maybe more one on one could be beneficial. I'm just going nuts with the phone calls and emails and letters daily. Its very difficult to see his cute little face be so upset because he hates school already. Its only been 3 weeks. Kristina [/QUOTE]
