[QUOTE="Crazy-Steph, post: 42555, member: 3729"] He is probably a little bit behind maturity wise. But it is so hard to tell. We are never sure which Tristan is the real one. One day he will behave like a normal 11 year old and the next day he will act like an 8 year old. He seems to play mind games with us as far as to his true capacities. I remember back in Kindgergarden, he had his teacher convinced he didn't know his colors. When we asked him, he told us he didn't feel like naming them at the time that she asked. He does this with homework-one day he will know his multiplication facts fine, the next he acts like he has never seen a multiplication problem in his life! They do have calendars for his classes, and the teachers have been part of the problem. Or I should say his math teacher. She will sign it if he remembers to bring it to her. But she will not remind him. Same with homework-she will let me know if he remembers to turn it in, but will not ask him for it. She says it is up to him to be responsible. Well duh! He can't! If he could, we wouldn't be asking for her help! We are about to have insurance through husband's new job, and I think that this summer we need to have a full evaluation done on him. Who do we go to for this? A therapist, his pediatrician? I'm not really sure where to begin. [/QUOTE]
