[QUOTE="totoro, post: 308688, member: 3155"] Although K is still so young especially in her thinking. She does know something is different about her. She does think she is "stupid" she does want to be like the other kids. She wants it all to stop a lot of the time. Her therapist is very blunt and honest with her. So was her Neuro-psychiatric, which was one of the best things. We were able to put it to her like this, "Your brain thinks and learns differently than other kids. So sometimes you can stay in your class for some of the learning, but for other things you need special ways to learn things, so you go to the Teachers that can teach you in special ways that only you can understand" We explained that it doesn't make her stupid, her brain just learns differently than others, just because there are other kids in the room doesn't mean they all learn the same way. Some learn faster and some need more time. I told her just because some of the kids in the room are faster than her, it doesn't mean a thing and just because she is faster, same thing. At times she may be leaving the room because she is smarter than the other kids, or maybe because she just doesn't read the same way. I also told her flat out, " K you can't sit still, so sometimes it is better for you to be in a different space so you can get some room to move and even just walking to the other class helps." I don't know if he is going to be mainstreamed part of the time or how it is going to work? But this and a variation have seemed to work so far for us. We also asked her if she gets frustrated in class? YES, well this might help. It does, so it is a good thing. They also give the kids prizes and points. I also always try to relate something that is going on with her to husband or me. It is kind of easy because I have BiPolar (BP), but like with food, husband eats super fast, he shovels food and so does K. So they work on it together. I tell her that I get scared, and that I did in school. N is terrified of bathrooms or bugs we tell her stories of someone we know or one of us who was as well. You are a good Mom, we all can relate. husband and I are going through some guilt things right now ourselves. I think there is always something. Woulda coulda shoulda.... Please don't beat yourself up. [/QUOTE]
