[QUOTE="JulienSam, post: 122189, member: 4575"] My 4 yr old DS has been attending a church operated preschool for the past few years -- usually only 2 or 3 days a week. It's a nice school and his current teacher is wonderful & very willing to work with us to find a way to prevent meltdowns & how to handle them when they happen at school. I have the Explosive Child DVD to give his teacher & a number of articles (including posts from this site on adapting it for younger children) to give to her. The problem is the director of the preschool. She just doesn't seem to understand that DS isn't choosing to behave the way he does; she's very unwilling to make accommodations (doesn't want to treat him any differently than the other kids), but more than willing to pull him out of the classroom as soon as meltdown starts -- instead of allowing his teacher to work with him to calm down. His teacher has said that twice now she's been on the verge of distracting him or calming him out of a meltdown when the Director comes in & takes him back to her office (which is right across the hall). Any suggestions on how to get the Director to realize that it's ok to treat DS differently because he is different? Thanks. Juliensam [/QUOTE]
