[QUOTE="Malika, post: 441090, member: 11227"] Well, it's very kind of you all to be so complimentary but I don't myself feel the meeting required that much courage or demanded that much skill :) Now what would have been a challenge to me would have been if she was angry/intransigent/confrontational. I would have found it hard to remain calm and focused in those circumstances... But I think she was somewhat wary and nervous from the beginning - I would imagine that, as a teacher, you get a lot of these interviews with parents and sometimes they are not easy... Now I have the whole decision thing of what kind of school, when to change, etc. As the teacher said, he is absolutely in the right environment in a small school. He is also apparently now completely well behaved in class and concentrates well. Have others experienced this with their ADHD children, that they are hyperactive out of school hours but apparently "normal" within it? I would like to have more understanding of this. She again said that if I had not mentioned anything, she would never have thought there was a problem... Yet I feel it has to have been right to have brought this up, if only if they can get to understand that punishing him all the time (for what goes on in the break times) is not productive and in a sense not fair...
