[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 91908, member: 4109"] HI, JAL: No advice here but wanted to give you a huge THANKS for introducing this topic. Tomorrow husband and I are meeting with the director of a prospective new preschool for my difficult child. This will be his fourth. We have debated whether or not we told the last school "too much" and if they were looking for behaviors that even we didn't warn them about. When they dismissed him after three weeks they had a long list of reasons, most of which were valid but some of which were pretty ridculous like he was sexually inappropriate because he wanted to kiss his classmates when they were learning a song about "arms are for hugging." They were not willing to wait and see how he did on the Risperdal. The principal said that she did not believe that medicating him was the answer yet, she could not come up with an alternative for us. So, here we sit in a similar situation. We have been taking our son with us to work every day since he was dismissed and needless to say we are not getting much work done and our business is suffering. So, we really want this school to work out. They have a reputation for being a good school and dealing very well with special kids. Now that difficult child is doing better on medications it would be nice to put my head in the sand and pretend like he does not have a behavioral condition. (He is better but still a far cry from easy child!) That would not serve any of us though. I will be honest with this new school as hard as it is now that we are facing preschool number four. Like Marg said, they are going to figure out pretty soon that difficult child is a difficult child. I would rather have them on my team from the start. Good Luck! and thanks again for posting this topic! Cheryl [/QUOTE]
