[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 440211, member: 11791"] I think I'm going to have to change my handle to "OutOnALimb"... We were on the opposite end of the Kindergarten-evaluation cycle... THEY said everything was absolutely rosy, and we knew otherwise. But in this case... when I see "social skills" kinds of comments... I'd be listening. The class doesn't just have girls in it - its a mixed class. If they are having trouble socializing with other 5yo [B][U]boys[/U][/B], then they are headed for trouble in school... starting now. They maybe simply immature for their age - but school insists on "age-standard peers"... so, 8YOs can't be playing with 6YOs, even though it would be "real peers" in terms of maturity. Dig deeper - what exactly do they meen, what skills do they think are missing (use the skills-list from The Explosive Child as a starting point for yourself), what accommodations or interventions to THEY see helping??? The sooner you can head this one off, the better off the boys will be. [/QUOTE]
