[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 63425, member: 1233"] Well, I think maybe I can give you a little more perspective on this, from difficult child's point of view. I was so terribly uncoordinated that they didn't want to let me go to 1st grade because I couldn't skip. And I had to take REMEDIAL PE in first grade. It was awful and humiliating and horrible. Not the class, it was kind of fun, but the way the other kids treated me. And the treatment from the other kids lasted for years and years. They were SO CRUEL. Your little guy probably thought he had to do them just right, and he couldn't, and the other kids all watched, and the pressure was just too much. Anger, strong and bitter, comes at this point. Get an Occupational Therapist (OT) (Occupational Therapy) evaluation done by the school. Put it in writing on the FIRST day of school. Keep poking the school until they do it. Occupational Therapist (OT) can help a whole lot. As far as "getting the wiggles out", it is the kind of phrase that a kid might take to have some kind of strange meaning. Can you use "get your energy out"? And show him just wiggling your body. In our house we shake on deals. We hold hands and shake and wiggle the rest of our body. This might be a way to help him. Not the deal making, but the "shaking". If he is AS, the play on words may tickle him too. Regardless of the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation, get a copy of "The Out of Sync Child Has Fun". It will show you lots of activities to help. I have found that addressing Occupational Therapist (OT) problems heads off other problems at the pass. Not a magic cure, but helps our kids feel at home in and with their bodies. Good Luck, Susie [/QUOTE]
