[QUOTE="donna723, post: 454136, member: 1883"] That poor little guy! That just makes me want to cry! I hope too that he gets a good, experienced, patient teacher who can see what the problem really is and can work with him. At this point, it would be very hard to tell exactly what his abilities really are, how much of his limitations he was born with and how much of it is from just being neglected and ignored and treated like a baby all his life. He got even more of a bum deal than his brother and sister did. In this day and age, there is just no excuse for this at all! Just plain lazy and uncaring. It's certainly no substitute for loving attention from a parent but there are WONDERFUL programs for children on TV now! Do they have cable TV? My two year old grandson watches Nick Jr. constantly and he's already learning all those colors and letters and numbers. They drive the adults up the wall but he's fascinated with those shows! His parents work with him a lot too and he has a lot of books and good educational toys but what he sees on TV reinforces it all for him. Does Evan have any books of his own? Have they ever taken the time to read to him? They could get books from the library and maybe Kayla could read to him every night. My kids picked up so much just by being read to and they insisted on the same favorite books over and over again. My son was a Sesame Street fanatic and watched it twice a day. He was read to since infancy and although I never specifically taught him to read or write, he could do both by the time he started kindergarten and I really think that a lot of it came from watching Sesame Street! His introduction to school may be rough for him but it's wonderful that he's so eager to learn. It just svcks that he's starting out with so many strikes against him but with the right teachers and with a lot of patience he could really blossom and surprise everybody! [/QUOTE]
