| My daughter, who has SPD, anxiety and possibly mild ASP, started kindergarten this year. After school she doesn't want to go to the playground, just come home. She did have gymnastics (which she loved) and swimming after school, but wants to do neither after school - just come home. Her kindergarten class is quite large at 27 kids (regular ed). I know she is tired, holding it together all day and wants to just take it easy. I can't help wishing she would at least want to go to the playground. Any else have this experience with their child? I should just go with it and allow her to come home and rest, right? She likes school and has no problem going in the mornings. Thanks. |

Absolutely. many kids at that age are spent at the end of a long school day--both with disabilities and without. Your daughter is telling you what she needs and you're listening  How about trying a low-key, small-group weekend activity?

| I can't imagine my special needs child having the energy to go to the playground, much less do gymnastics or swimming, when she comes home from K at 4:00. I can't imagine my NT kids having that level of energy. It's just too much to ask. |

| I agree with the PPs, I have SN and NT kids and after school, they're exhausted, especially when they were in K. |
