[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 327291, member: 805"] Shari, I like your attitude! On the one hand, the "offending" teacher was doing what she would have done with any typical kid - asking them to shape up, so to speak. Not knowing difficult child, his attitude was seen as absolute defiance. I had that experience a few times when difficult child was younger and when the adults were fully aware of difficult child's issues, understanding did dawn. But, the fact that he handled his stress, anxiety, and anger with physical stuff is not acceptable. No matter the trigger, physical violence (and the spitting) is never justified. That will be something you will have to stress to wee. And he will learn to control it - mine did. Obviously you will also need to let him know that you understand his frustration with this incident without bad-mouthing the teacher. I really do think you are on to something regarding the stress this time of the year. Special mods might need to be put in place to handle his anxiety level. Sharon [/QUOTE]
