[QUOTE="SnowAngel, post: 84901, member: 4010"] Some children with mental disorders can't handle change and tend to be sensitive with other peoples emotions. My Peanut gets so enraged when anyone in the house is angry...the counselor said this could be anxiety? Your son might have picked up on his teachers emotions. It is good that he shows remorse...mine doesn't. My ducky can't handle change, so when there is a sub in his class he goes to another class where he knows the teacher. There are accomidations that the school can make without an IEP or 504 plan. I am a single parent raising 4 of my 6 kids. Three of my kids have mental disorders. My 18yr daughter has two heart conditions. I don't like what my kids are dealing with. We are supposed to raise them and keep them safe, yet it isn't that easy with mental disorders. I hate facing their disorders. I have played the blame game, however the bottom line is they have it and it doesn't matter where they got it because it wont change them having it. I too have felt that the school thought I wasn't doing enough until I turned it around in my head. These people don't understand these disorders, most of them dont have family with them. I think they feel bad for not being more helpful, but offer what little advice they can which unfortunately sounds like they think we dont correct our children. Next time try to think of their advice that way and remember it is comming from people who are uneducated on mental disorders. As far as the principal, I think he doesn't want you to feel like it is a big issue and that they are there for you both. It is nice to see a principal stay positive. I would still get the neuropsychologist evaluation. Keeping a journal also helps. Many hugs and prayers sent your way. [/QUOTE]
