Agree!
We are setting up a meeting with this in K's new plan. We are putting in a kind of "clause" for being reprimanded.
Because she is not in any extra-curricular yet we did not have to add this, but we would have.
If she is trying as hard as she can, I don't see why she has to finish her work?
Maybe her work load needs to be modified or modified more?
Or adapted more to her needs?
Doesn't seem to be working for her?
I know for K, even though I hate it some days, I HAVE to give her and let her know she is loved and doing a great job a few times in the hour sometimes in the half hour. Or she becomes depressed or frustrated.
This happens at School also.
Our new report has this written in also, "She needs to hear and see frequent evidence that she is valued and appreciated"
for example, "I am happy to see you" "Good work" "great job".
Even if it is a stretch... Our kids NEED this especially if there is a Learning Disability (LD) and BiPolar (BP).
It doesn't matter if they are manipulative, they still need to know they are doing well throughout the day~
