[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 394294, member: 805"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][COLOR="#006400"]:coldday:Good Morning! Sharon, it's not 6 degrees here but it's 16 and that's pretty darn cold for us! Bummer about the wait yesterday for you and difficult child.....hope today is much smoother! Thursday means an all day office day for me. Yesterday afternoon I gave difficult child's 1:1 a ride home after school (he lives close to us). I dropped difficult child home on the way. After difficult child got out, his 1:1 turned to me and said, "difficult child has been amazing this year!" He said that difficult child has transitioned into high school with virtually no assistance from him. He is in the background and usually not with difficult child - just in the building or watching from a distance during pe or lunch. He said all the teachers think he is a respectful, smart young man. Wow! When I came here 7 years ago and the times were dark, I never thought I would get to this place with him. Early intervention, the supportive and knowledgable membership on this board, supportive administration at all three schools, great docs, and more have made such a difference in his life. But I can't dismiss the work he himself has done to get to this place. You know, I always knew what was inside that boy. He is still a difficult child - he has entitlement issues, anxiety issues, a short fuse at times, social issues, etc. But what has changed over the years is his ability to recognize what is going on inside, what choices he has as far as his reactions, and that others now see some of what I have seen all along - a funny, creative, smart young man. Thanks guys for letting me let loose here. No one really understands like you guys how much pride we take when we see our difficult children using the techniques and making the choices we fight so hard for. Here's a wish for a great Thursday in your house. Sharon [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
