[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 313532, member: 7916"] Piper, Welcome to the club...My difficult child's kindergarten year (last year) was so awful. It felt like it would never end. I felt like a social pariah. For the first semester, none of the other parents even spoke to me. They clearly thought husband and I were horrible parents. By the end of the first semester, several parents were even trying to have difficult child kicked out of the class (they started a petition). Their behavior, ironically, won us some allies among the other parents. Anyway, it does get better. It really does. Something will help. You just have to figure out what it is. It might not be a permanent 'fix,' but you will get some answers and some hope. My difficult child only attends school for four hours a day now and has a full-time aide, but he is doing so well in first grade. He is succeeding socially, which is huge for us. We had several medication disasters last year, had to take him out of K for six weeks to work on medication issues, and know that additional diagnosis's could be coming our way, but for now he is doing well. I think it can be hard to accept that you have to be okay with things being okay for the moment and not looking too far ahead. That is hard for me, but that is what we try to do. And, don't let the other parents get you down. Get involved with the school and be a presence there. Your child has a right to be there, too. School isn't just for PCs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
