[QUOTE="SRL, post: 144574, member: 701"] Ouch--tomorrow you better wear tennis shoes! :treadmill: Seriously, my difficult child didn't need an aide, but one from another classroom came and gave him classroom breaks in the am and pm and those were incredibly helpful. She varied it: juice, snack, walk, playground, gym for running or scooter, hammock swing, Occupational Therapist (OT) room, etc. His primary issue was anxiety but it really helped to take the edge off. Hopefully someone will be able to get through to this mom. The whole process of admitting that something isn't right with your child is so difficult. I noticed issues prior to school starting and I don't know that I'd have initially taken it very well, although I'm sure I would have come around. Even when I knew the whole diagnostic and intervention team was working for his good, it felt so invasive (in the privacy sense), overwhelming, and threatening. It also forced me to take a real hard look at my parenting, myself, and my gene pool contribution. Yikes--what fun is that!? Please keep us posted and if you figure out any magic combination of strategies please do share. There's always room in our bag of tricks. [/QUOTE]
