[QUOTE="SRL, post: 72800, member: 701"] Our experience was the opposite. difficult child came to see the book as a helpful tool in communicating issues that were giving him problems. Meltdowns over not understanding an assignment or his anxiety over something that was going on at school were greatly reduced once he realized it offered a genuine solution just by me informing the teacher about something. When the point came that he said "Mom, just write it in my notebook" instead of melting down I knew we'd made some real strides. In my difficult child's case the book wound up being very much for him. Because of this it wasn't an issue for him--he set it on the teacher's desk every day when he unloaded his backpack and I unloaded it at home with the rest of his stuff. About a month into 3rd grade the notebook stopped coming out on a regular basis and one day in the van he said "Mom, uh, I haven't been giving Mrs. P my notebook. To which I replied "I guess that means you don't need it any longer, do you?" "Nope" We agreed if there was ever an occasional issue I could do it by email. [/QUOTE]
