[QUOTE="totoro, post: 298655, member: 3155"] In N's Kindergarten is a really cute boy who was struggling to go in yesterday. Basically fled. His Dad did what the Teacher did not want him to do, which was take the boy "R" away and try to talk him into going. On the first 2 days of School R was sitting alone and very quiet in the beginning of class. Today I was talking to Dad, has another adopted daughter who was in K's class. He also has 2 other adopted younger kids. I asked him if R was in pre-school, I was thinking maybe he hadn't been away from Dad before. He said he had. He started telling me very loudly, R has a pre-curser for BiPolar (BP), has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Mom was a heavy drug user... went on and on. But he was saying this with the other 2 kids in the stroller and R in the door way. It made me feel pretty bad. My question is, I am volunteering in the class at least once a week. R is very sweet I was watching him at the playground this morning. He is also pretty typical of our kids. I don't know much about adopted kids or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). How can I help him or possibly make him feel comforted if he is having a hard time? Maybe that would be different than a Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) kid. K needed lots of hugs and lap time. She needed things in her hands and redirection. The School is just starting to get BiPolar (BP) kids, I only know this because K was one of the youngest. So I have a feeling little R might be the youngest. TIA [/QUOTE]
