Thank you all!
I tried talking to difficult child again this morning on the way to school. I wasn't sure about what he was thinking. I was able to speak to the teacher in private for a few minutes and explain some of his concerns. She stated she has not seen any kids being mean and will keep her eyes and ears open. She also said that she has not had any one to one disciplining issues with him. There has been "group" issues such as all the boys goofing off so the words to behave are directed at everyone, difficult child has not been singled out. I explained that difficult child does not see how the discipline effects those around. He only sees/hears the words being addressed to himself and does not see that the same words are being given to the other kids at the same time.
difficult child is highly sensitive. I talked to him today about the need to tolerate other people and if they start being too annoying, he is to talk to a teacher before he reacts negatively. I told him that he can not control other kids' behaviors but he can stay out of their way.
I helped with the 2nd graders at 12:40 today so was able to check in with his teacher to see how the day was going. She stated that there has been no problems today - that he has been in a very good mood. When I saw difficult child, he also stated there have been no problems today. YEAH!!!
computer p.s. - I couldn't sign in this morning and after 1/2hr this evening, finally called easy child to find out how to sign on! The screensaver was on but I couldn't get to the sign on screen.
