[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 554039, member: 7664"] Malika, you seem to torture yourself with doubts and then rejuvenate with hope with every stumble and stride that J takes!! It might be very helpful to your level of concern to actually make a chart for yourself in order to get a fair assessment of J's day-to-day struggles. This is not very black and white. I honestly think that J does have obstacles to overcome, but I just as strongly think that he is a resourceful and bright child who is figuring out how to adapt! Perhaps your daily chart could monitor J's attitude toward school, your attitude toward his school, his progress with letters and numbers, his social successes, his sports achievements and these would not be repeated back to J, this information would be gathered for say, 3 weeks, and you would reflect on the data--- did J come home with happy reports from school 13 out of 15 days, did he really only struggle with math 3 times out of 15? Did your attitude change directly after an incident and then went back to a "it might be ok afterall" baseline after he succeeded for a few days? Might this gathering and reflection of data ease your worries and perhaps show that while he will struggle, he is also able to overcome? [/QUOTE]
