[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 453190, member: 1233"] Befpre th emeeting about holding difficult child 2 back, go to the Special Education forum and ask the ladies over there about it. I am SURe they have some resources taht can help you - they are amazing. I am flabbergasted that they want to hold your son back. here is it unheard of to hold a child back in a grade. the only exception in our district is kindergarten - and they have a special class that is between kdg and grade 1 for those kids that need the extra year. As he is already 2 yrs older than his peers, holding him back will do a LOt of social damage. As for feelings, check out the feelings posters/flip books. Cartoonist Jim Borgman has one that is a favorite of ours. It shows different faces with a description of the feeling for each one. It was invaluable for Wiz - often he had no idea how to name what he was feeling or what other people were showing on their faces. He recognized happiness when someone was grinning madly and anger as everything else. That was IT. Here is a link to a search that has the Borgman poster and another artist's version made into playing cards: [url]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=jim+borgman&x=0&y=0#/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ajim+borgman&keywords=jim+borgman&ie=UTF8&qid=1313407754[/url] [/QUOTE]
