Hi all,
My difficult child was doing soooo well, but yesterday was really bad. He hit someone with a jump rope. Knowing him, this was an extreme reaction to something...but it was a reaction to something. Still, he proceeded to flip out at the teachers, saying how much he hated the current school and how much he hated everything. He had about three of these in a row. The teacher decided not to write him up, but she is concerned, of course.
I managed to find a place that will give him a diagnostic assessment tomorrow. I hope this helps because I am at my wits end. I don't understand how my son, who managed to be really good last year, is suddenly completely losing it. I know it might be the change to the new school, but I'm scared moving him back to his old school would be just as bad. I don't know what kind of punishments to give that won't just put him deeper into whatever frustrated knot he is in. Anyways, I have no idea what to do...I'm so tired and I feel like such a bad mother.:/
