[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 206106, member: 3626"] I'm of the school that lets school issues stay at school. However, that doesn't mean I didn't try to help my daughter. There was no way she could make 3 days in a row of good behavior before 3rd grade. However, she could have a good day if done in increments. She would get a happy face in her special book for every time she made it to recess or lunch or school end without a problem. Behaving for an hour at a time was doable. So, if she brought home her book with at least one happy face, she got a treat; two, a small toy; three, 30 mins of television when she got home; four, out to dinner and TV. A straight-line face got a big hug. The teacher would write a note or send me an email as to what happened if she got the mad face and we would play act out that incident with her dolls. It would be interesting to see how my daughter's version of the incident would vary from what the teacher saw and heard. There were times when I would meet the teacher in the morning to discuss the incident and give my daughter's version. It was amazing how often the other kids would start the stuff and my child would finish it (and get caught, of course). I hated when I heard a birthday was coming up in class. I could almost guaranty my daughter would not be invited. I'd take her somewhere special so she had something to brag about when the kids all talked about the party but it still hurt her and broke my heart every time. Sadly, there is absolutely nothing you can do about this. You can't force the other kids or parents to like your child regardless of the reasons why he behaves as he does. Hopefully, he'll get a good evaluation and you'll get some answers. A treatment plan, whether it is medications and/or behavior modification can be a huge relief. At least you know where to start and, hopefully, find something that works. [/QUOTE]
