[QUOTE="apesfordana, post: 478652, member: 13077"] Hello all. 1) thank you so much for the thoughtful and honest replies. I have taken everything to heart and I appreciate having found this board so much. - short term solution that has worked wonderfully is having my son take his lunch every day. We work together on what goes into his lunch each day and we always make sure the meal is balanced. Not a single instance at school since - it's only been since 10/26 - but I consider it a win... so far. If there is more of an issue than just the school's food, I have no doubt that this issue will resurface. But for now, I've chosen to listen to my son & let him have choices & see them through. My husband is unhappy with me. But the solution has been working and my son has been very happy when we pick him up each day, so he can stay quietly unhappy until he finds an 'i-told-u-so'. - as for the stutter and focusing issues. My husband and I sat down with his teacher last night. My son is in a pre-k program and they have already worked up to the public school curriculum that he'll see next fall. His teacher had great things to say about most everything. Just that he has some issues working independently (when he has to sit alone & work, he tends to look around the room or to the person next to him to see what he's doing). And he also does great with most class work except for coloring. So she agrees that there isn't anything developmentally that we need to fret about.. just to work with him on some things. As for the stutter, she's noticed at and sees it as something we can just work on - get him to slow down, to focus, to relax. i will add that my husband was very reluctantly there, but sat through and asked his own questions. My husband is determined to show that nothing is wrong with our son, but once the teacher brought forth some concerns (unpromted by me), he did pay more attention. I thank God for that and for his teacher! I've read this board - so I know I am very blessed. I know that my problem may seem small compared to some. So I really appreciate your attention. PS - I love the dentist idea. I hadn't thought about pulling the dentist in - I'm sure he'd have PLENTY to say! But dental fear is a whole other issue and we're still working on that visit being pleasant. My father, who passed away recently, had just awful teeth. So bad that my son asked me about them. I use eating right & brushing/flossing as reasons for those bad teeth. I'll add throwing up as something that can rot them away. My son isn't vein, but he really really doesn't want his teeth to look like his Opa's did! [/QUOTE]
