[QUOTE="jannie, post: 263877, member: 2074"] I would suggest to the school that they give him a motor break when he looks as though he's about to fall asleep. Sometimes these motor breaks are what they need to get "their blood flowing and energry up". If they motor break doesn't help, than perhaps they should let him fall asleep. I know that for many hyper kids, when they are asked to sit still for extended periods of time, their bodies get sleepy...it doesn't initally mean they are tired, but limited activity brings on the "triptafan" (stuff in melatonin). If when kids/catnap...I think it needs to be quite brief and woken within 10 minutes or allow them to sleep for a while. If he's tired they should send him to the health room...he can always sleep there... They really seem to be pusing all of your buttons....I'm surprised they wouldn't chose a sleeping difficult child than an active one.... Did you ever find out more about the self-contained class in the other town that no one knows about? [/QUOTE]
