[QUOTE="Malika, post: 459374, member: 11227"] An update for anyone interested in this little episode: I met with J's teacher this afternoon. She initially seemed brisk, not particularly open or willing to listen (on the defensive after our last conversation?) but seemed to gradually thaw. She SAYS she does not punish J or any of the children in the sense of sending them to the corner - this is confusing as it does not tally with what J says. She says she simply has them cool down by themselves when they transgress some boundary... She again repeated that she doesn't see that J has particular problems other than being a rowdy little boy like the other rowdy little boys in the school but she wants to go ahead with having a multi-disciplinary meeting involving the child psychiatrist, the speech therapist, the school psychologist and the pediatrician... I now wonder if this isn't rather like overkill - but perhaps better too much than too little? :) She was again positive about J, saying he is clearly very intelligent and also very sweet and likeable. She SAYS she is determined to get to the bottom of this if something is going on and come up with conditions that will facilitate his learning in optimum conditions. So, on the face of it, all seems to be encouraging... [/QUOTE]
