[QUOTE="totoro, post: 150694, member: 3155"] How long does it end up going for? Sorry if I missed that. It may be that it is just too long? I am sorry but I had to laugh, this sounds a lot like K in a social setting at times... the running around getting in peoples faces having NO clue she is SCARING them... We had to put a pause on classes for awhile... number one because I thought it was too much for K, for her even if the class goes a tiny bit OK, she is a wreck the rest of the night AND the following day. Anything over and hour, more like 45 minutes for her is a huge red flag!!! Second, I was just over it... I know she needs some social things, but she goes to school and she takes one on one horse therapy... but the open involved lots of kids classes- TOO much. I have to make sure she is not attacking, in a friendly way, other children... doing all of the same things as your difficult child. It was exhausting, physically and mentally. K also generally did not do well even once the sport started. We haven't signed up for anything new in awhile, because she is still like this. We try to do one on one sports... gymnastics, swimming, horses etc. I see how hard it is for her to hold it together, and feel like we are asking too much from her right now, while she is unstable. Maybe if this was the only thing she did all week... but that is not reality. So for us, we skip the team sports, and center on one on one. We still work on how she NEEDS to act in public and all of that stuff... but this has been like this since her first soccer class at 3.5 years old... she never had fun, the rest of the kids did. I would gauge the pros and cons and what he gets out of it and what you get/ don't get out of it. If he LOVES it try to figure it out, K never cared. Take it or leave it... We make K sit for a few brief moments (not in trouble) just to compose herself and to watch the other kids and how they act. Good luck and I feel for you... you just want them to have fun. [/QUOTE]
