[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 73421, member: 3930"] Thanks guys! I had a really rough day, but my difficult child did great. When I picked him up from school, he was disappointed that he could not ride the bus home (Kindergarteners only take the bus one way). It's a good thing he takes the bus TO school otherwise I might not be able to get him to go. I am not so sure he likes the school part (having to listen, and follow directions), but he loves the bus. I emailed the teacher to just ask how his day was and to open up communication - she replied and told me he only had to be reminded once to not interrupt (he does that constantly at home). I decided not to share the parent report with her just yet - and I don't know if she has seen it from the s.d. yet. I guess I wanted to give him a couple days to see how it was going before I let her know all about him and his defiance. He usually does quite well at first -it's once he is comfortable that he lets his true colors show. I got to his school early to pick him up yesterday so I could observe him on the playground. Their schedule says recess and snack at 3:05, then dismissal at 3:25. They actually didn't get out to the playground on time and they were only allowed to play for 9 minutes! I heard the teacher reprimanding difficult child when they had to line up to go back in to keep his hands and feet to himself. I am sure he had a terrible time transitioning back to class after just 9 minutes on the playground and no warnings that they were going back in. I think that's crazy. Hope today goes well. [/QUOTE]
