I think it best if you read the book as a family. Read the book together and be prepared to answer questions. You might also check out some of these resources[/https://bit.ly/2Eb4ThT ] for guidance.

Here are a few places he might try:

Book Clubs
Gardening Clubs
Adult Education Classes

I have to agree with some of the other posters. It is not a good idea to leave the children with the dog unsupervised. Even if the dog is very gentle, it is still a dog and can be provoked under the right circumstances. Why not try teaching the dog and kids throw and fetch with a ball.

If he is consistent with the therapy and medication and he has made improvements, then he is serious about changing. It took a long time to make him the way he is and a year of therapy is a relatively short period of time to make all the changes. Marriage is a commitment, but you can't be in an unsafe environment either.Do you also go to therapy with him? It might be helpful for you too.

Don't blame yourself kids are always testing us to see what they can get away with. It's a long school day for a first grader. She needs some time to have a snack and unwind a little. Then it is time for homework. When it is done well and to your standards, then it is time to go out and play or time on the ipad. Be firm.

I pay tuition, books, room and board. All other spending money he makes by various jobs during the year or in the summer. It makes him accountable and more responsible to himself for being careful with money.

It must be very exhausting for you and your husband. I commend you because it sounds like you are doing all you can to help him succeed. I agree with a previous poster. It is so important to get the medication right before you can work on the issues. I would suggest getting a tutor for after school to help him with school lessons and homework. You probably would need someone 5-6 days a week. You could even hire a senior high school student who will not charge an arm and leg and are often very patient. Contact the local high school and ask if they can recommend someone. Hang in there!

I'm sorry that you and your child have to go through this painful situation. Bullying is never acceptable and the school should act on any report of bullying immediately. In the meantime there are some resources ( http://bit.ly/2By0vbH ) that may help. Continue to press the principal for help.

My heart goes out to you.What a difficult situation. Maybe keep him busy with lots of crafts and games that he can do on his own. Talk to the doctors and get some input from there. Hang in there! You are doing a great job under difficult circumstances.

Maybe she can help around the house and yard. How about some family games that require physical activity like twister. Has she tried jumping rope, hula-hoop,or hopscotch?

Thank you for your husband's service and your sacrifice. I can remember many a morning with my 6yr. old who did the same thing. There were many battles over clothes and going to school. I finally decided to take some time the night before and let her choose her clothes for the morning. It did help some. Be firm and loving all the time. She did outgrow the stage and did just fine. Hang in there.You are doing just fine!

Every child has the right to ride the bus and attend school without fear and anxiety do to the actions of others. Maybe see if DD sitting in the front resolves the problem. If not, a meeting with principal would be in order to enforce more serious consequences for the child causing the trouble.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. The Native Americans are part of our heritage and we honor them when we remember them and their part in the success of the Pilgrims.

As a teacher myself, I find those responses a little lacking in substance. She could have been a little more prepared with her answers. However, I wouldn't be too concerned at this point. Teachers are human and have off days too. See how things progress or make an appointment with the teacher and express your concerns.

It's great that your DH and son can enjoy time together and they should. It's a great time for you to bond with your daughter. There are a whole host of things to do with her:
Read a book together
Watch a movie together
Do crafting together
Go for a walk together
play tea party
Have fun!
