[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 144736, member: 3413"] If I'm reading your siggy right, difficult child is in Kindergarten? If so, then I think the positive is that he's so young that any interventions you're working on will be helpful. My difficult child has different issues, but he spent a lot of K and first grade as an outcast (at least in the formal classroom setting). He just couldn't keep it together and did odd and inappropriate things. He, too, didn't seem to understand when he was breaking protocol, or how to control himself in order to fit in better. And of course the teachers and Principal assumed this behavior was all intentional. But we have a GREAT therapist, an ex-teacher in fact, who helped him through all sorts of practical strategies. And it's made a HUGE difference over the last couple of years. Now, toward the end of 2nd grade, I think he is doing a pretty darn good job of being appropriate in the classroom, and I've noticed that he seems to have more positive interactions with classmates, too. (I volunteer a lot to keep an eye on that stuff.) So I guess I'm saying, take heart, and good luck plodding through the rest of this school year. Maturity plus early, good therapy can produce some really positive results. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
