[QUOTE="totoro, post: 37697, member: 3155"] Our children have very different issues it sounds like... but my difficult child went to a Montessori from 26 months until about 5 yo. Now for the past year she has gone to a Waldorf program. While at Montessori she had issues in school, I had to pick her up, she got in trouble for hitting, bitting, having emotional breakdowns etc. Some of it was her age, some of it was her sensory issues... but a HUGE part of it was this boy MAX... he was the "Jekyll and Hyde". She gravitated to him for some reason, she still seeks out boys like this!!! But he tormented her and pushed her to the breaking point and she is socially clueless and was unable to voice or control herself and it would end up in rage or violence. Of course it was only ever seen at the point when difficult child was exploding, so she was at fault!!! The school was really good actually, but for our difficult child something about this boy, and the whole environment upset her on many levels. We went in and observed a couple of times and actually saw boys tormenting her, and noone noticed, they were hitting her and she did not know what to do, she finally freaked out and bit one!!! But we were able to say, exactly what had happened!!! I think the school was good but they were not that good with kids with issues and the boy and our difficult child had many issues... Now at the Waldorf it is a lot calmer, small class... our difficult child has had no problems!!! When we started there she was having psychotic episodes and talking of wanting to die and raging for hours at home, this was pre-medications, not once has she freaked out at school... Her and the teacher have been able to work out everything, and work with the kids. This program is not good with issues either... but they are good with my kid. For now. They are even teaching her how to sew!!! I went with my gut on this school, instead of public, due to difficult child's sensory and social issues and until we can find an adequate public school this will do. So you do have to trust yourself. I knew that the Montessori was good, but not for her... sometimes a school just doesn't fit and if there is an option it is nice. Our neuro evaluation was great... it ended up being about 10hours!!! I look at the difference in my 2 girls and how they are in these 3 years, 3 to 6, and I would want another one done. I was told so many times when difficult child 1 was 2-5 that no way anything wrong with her!!! You should push for whatever you think you need or will help. Good luck [/QUOTE]
