[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 677212, member: 13260"] Piggybacking on the school issue. If she hates school, there is probably a reason, and it may take some digging to find out what it is. Wouldn't it be nice if the kids could tell us "Gee, I can't focus on the work because I'm too distracted, so I feel stupid and the other kids know it." Or "I have no friends and no matter what I do, they just get meaner and meaner" or "My teacher always seems mad and me no matter how hard I'm trying. I'm tired of being told to get my work done when I literally can't do it." Last year was dreadful because the teacher was burned out on my grandson. I totally get it. This year, his teacher is amazing. She even has her parents, both retired school teachers, working in the classroom with her. She's proactive about techniques to meet where he's at, then increasing his work time bit by bit. She's accepting and non-judgmental. She has made such a difference. He still has social issues, does and says weird things that draws negative attention to himself, but she's so kind and patient. There's also a classroom aide that is great, too. He's still not producing the work he's supposed to, but he knows the material, just isn't into the busy work to show it and he doesn't seem to need the practice. For now anyway. I'm scared to death for middle school, not gonna lie. As for the home stuff, yeah, it's up and down, slow progress with structure, firmness, staying calm in the face of screaming, threats, and foul language. It's so tiring. [/QUOTE]
