[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 457705, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]((Mutt)) I am so sorry for you and sad for that little boy. It is not too late to pull him out of kindergarten and I would try one last ditch effort with mom to do so. There is no harm in placing him back into the PAALs program and give him one more year to mature a bit. I hope they listen. During that year, they can work on his behavior and respecting adults...easier said than done, but by subjecting him to a classroom setting, they are setting him to fail - and not just this year, but each subsequent year as he will always be playing catch up with his peers. I held back easy child in 2nd grade for these reasons - not the hitting part - but the constant struggle of keeping up with her peers on all levels, emotionally as well as academically. She just wasn't where they were. It was the best decision I'd ever made on her behalf - she made great strides the second time around and never really had any problems. I wish I had the gumption to go against difficult child's preschool teacher who insisted she was ready for kindergarten. In my heart of hearts, I knew she wasn't and should have held her back the year. Sending positive common sense to your daughter in law and strength to you![/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
