[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 607144, member: 13260"] That's sounds like a great day! He focused, got some writing done (oh the homework wars at my house with my grandson--you don't even wanna know!!), played with friends, and probably felt like a very competent, happy little boy. Mazeltov! Here in the states, we have what's called FAPE (free and appropriate public education) and if you were here, you would be getting much offered to you. You are having to go it alone because it doesn't sound like your country of residence(s) have much in the way of laws holding local education agencies' feet to the fire to ensure equal access for all children to be humanely and appropriately educated. I saw somewhere on the this thread about forming a co-op of parents with similar needs. Great idea, but like you don't have anything else to do, I'm sure. But, there is so much coolness to being raised as a citizen of the world and that's an amazing kind of learning, too. I was pulled hither and yon as a kid (Dad in the Air Force) and had to hit the ground running constantly. I did have the gift of transitioning easily, and picked up languages very quickly. I never did have the ability to make and maintain close friendships, though. Thank heavens I get along so well with my kids! They call me their best friend (they are 34 and 36), and that tickles me so much. I know when we had to pull me grandson out of school for various lengths of time, we had a schedule of activities during the day, little contracts to do this or that, timers set, and at least part of the day was very structured. And have fun with the new kitty! [/QUOTE]
