[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 324534, member: 805"] Personally, I believe in the "circle of life" therory. I believe there isn't any one thing, but a combination of things that form a positive circle. If you have a fabulous, supportive teacher, but a difficult child is not getting the correct medications, is not stable, etc., it can't translate into success. If you have the correct medications but a teacher unwilling to work with the individual needs of your child, it's can't translate into success. I think that's why we call ourselves warrior parents. We fight for a diagnosis, the right medications, the right docs, a quality school administration, good teachers, productive IEPs, etc., all in the name of love and trying to give our difficult children the tools of success. We may measure success in different ways than parents of typical kids, but we know succcess when we see it! For my difficult child, it has been a tremendous combination of willing school officials, understanding and capible teachers, good docs, the correct diagnosis, the right medications, angels along the way, continued maturity, but more than anything else, his desire to be "a regular kid" and do the right thing. I am extremely proud of my difficult child and tell him that often. I am glad that your son is having a good school year. These are the bricks that build a path. Sharon [/QUOTE]
