[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 541871, member: 8045"] Tiredmommy....thanx for your encouraging post! Malika.....we have similar problem with our youngest one at the moment! I notice your son's birthday is only in December, mine is end of November.....Maybe it's not a bad idea to keep him a year behind in his grade? My little one is also struggling to sit still, concentrate, follow the class routine, exct. But my son also struggles plenty with fine motor....he has started identifying his colours and shapes now. We had him tested by the Occupational Therapist (OT) and ST and he has huge sensory disfunction and great speech delay...both in his mother tongue and second language( unfortunatly his schooling language). He is starting to make plenty of friends. There was this stress from the teachers side, because she was trying to get him ready for grade 0, but we have decided to let him repeat grade 00.....and since then the teacher is more relaxed, she is trying to make his schooling a positive experience and now my son is more relaxed, says he loves his teacher and his school, where in the past he didnt want to go to school, and the funny thing is, he is starting to improve plenty! I even took him to the psychiatrist, because of speech delay and ' being in his own imaginary world' sometimes....we even did an EEG....end result: He has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and bottom line.....his brain is still maturing.....The only thing at the moment that he needs, is TIME to mature and plenty of stimulation! So we read, talk, explain, encourage and put all kinds of educational things up on the fridge! The one thing, one of the moms told me that made sence to me was: If you dont keep him a year behind...he is always going to be the kid that is trying to catch up with the rest....maybe the one getting into trouble for not sitting still, or being picked on....her son is the oldest in his class......and loves it! :) He feels like the ' big brother'..... But yes, I do agree with you...its rediculous how much presure the schools put on kids, especially in private schools! [/QUOTE]
