Mom? What's a difficult child?
K started School last Thursday. She was very excited and a bit anxious. Had major violence and mania the few days prior to School starting.
She is taking Seroquel QID (3x's a day) So we had to rush a refill for the School and get it into the Nurse and sign the notes the day before.
First day of School, we did not have the Teachers news letter because they had to transfer her. So we didn't have all of the info. They forgot to get her the medications. She wandered during lunch and claims she was "lost". She was afraid that no-one liked her also.
husband talked to the Teacher the next day prior to School. I was too anxious and feeling BiPolar (BP) to go in and not get upset...
The Teacher was so sorry, she felt horrible about the medications. Gave husband the newsletter... then he went and talked to the Nurse. She was sorry also and was super sweet and apologetic.
So we read the newsletter. The teacher has an Autistic son! She asked in the newsletter for parents to write up a letter about their child. Anything that might help her understand any of their issues, strengths, weaknesses.
So I wrote up a letter explaining all about k. I also included a couple of printouts about Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). Things about how School is affected, home, all of the symptoms etc.
So far since Thursday, things have been great. Ms. T has seen some issues, but mostly anxiety and social issues. (K is so worried about making friends and has no social clues)
K has actually been doing OK. She thinks everyone hates her... but besides that she wants to go, for now, and really wants to learn!
They are learning Spanish, which we have been working on for about a year. So she is very happy about this.
I have a lot of hope about this School and for K. Maybe she will thrive here?
