[QUOTE="Buglover, post: 514772, member: 14112"] When my daughter was 3 I started her in a 2 day a week, 3 hour classes program. Mostly because I needed a break. I cringed every time I dropped her off, and every time I picked her up I expected them to tell me she needed to find another preschool. They never said a word, so after about 5 months I said "Does she have tantrums here?" And I swear the Director looked at me like I was a complete jerk and said "No! She is a MODEL CITIZEN in OUR classroom!" Oh my god, after 3 years of the stress of dealing with the queen of tantrums, this lady treating me like I am a horrible person for suggesting she might tantrum at school. Then her Kindergarten teacher did the same thing to me, looked down her nose, said daughter behaved perfectly but was "immature". Then 1st grade, and suddenly the immaturity has blown up into a complete refusal to do work in school, and her teacher is completely freaking out, sending notes home every single day. "X wouldn't pay attention" "X wouldn't complete her work" "This seems to be way over X's head" blah blah blah. So anyway, your son is so young. He will hold it together while he can, hopefully he will maintain that ability as it will help him with his schoolwork. It is definitely not unusual for him to behave at school and not at home. They do tend to save up all their angst and frustrations for Mommy. I hope that his doctor is able to pinpoint what she thinks the problem might be so he can get the right therapy for it. [/QUOTE]
